My Project

My goal for this project is to enhance the current curriculum with more readily available experiences for students to engage with rock and mineral testing. Have you met any kids lately? They are VERY into rocks. Rock investigating is a pretty sure fire way to support our larger goal of learning about the scientific method, hypothesizing, and taking notes.

Taking notes is hard for a lot of us, all ages.

If we support note taking at a young age, with captivating lessons and experiments, we're setting them up to be more likely to take meaningful notes during future lessons.
