My Project
With these materials I will be able to do some projects for animal adaptations, rock sediments, and erosion. When it is funded I will get a kit that will allow my students to build animals, so they can learn about their different adaptations they need to survive. It allows for different animals in different environments.
Who wouldn't love to break open a geode.
When this gets funded I will get geodes for my students. We will have a fun time breaking them open to see the beauty inside. This will be after the lesson on rock formation and volcanos. Finally, my students will have a hands on activity to learn about erosion. Seeing the movement of land will be much more meaningful then just reading about it.
