Science Rocks: Examining Rock Types
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Gordy (Anderson)'s classroom raised $750
This project is fully funded
I teach a kindergarten through eighth grade science lab, in an urban school, with a wonderfully diverse student body.
We need rocks! We have read a lot about rocks, we've become the rock cycle and changed into many rocks, but we don't have enough examples of different types of rocks to hold, examine and compare!
I want to purchase a variety of large and small specimens (ex. 1 large example of pumice and 30 small ones) for my students to experiment with and explore! The more engaged, the more they learn!
Help! Your donation will help inspire future geologists... many of them (I see approximately 400 students a week)! Please help make my room literally ROCK!
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
