My Project

My first-grader students love learning and they are most excited about our Science and Social Studies Knowledge Units.

We will be studying the History of the Earth soon and these rocks and minerals will provide them with hands-on samples for all 3 rock types!

This unit includes metamorphic, igneous, and sedimentary rocks. Understanding the differences between these rocks can be confusing. These samples will allow my students to visually see the difference between them. Next, they will move on to studying minerals and fossils - and this kit also includes samples for all of those areas as well!
