We are well into our study of rocks and minerals now. We learned what a mineral is, how different minerals make different rocks, and went rock hunting. We used our new found rocks to do some experiments on to learn about hardness, color, texture, and luster. We tried to get our rocks to float,(no luck), and tried magnets on them to see if they had iron. Then I shared a rock that was magnetic and one that did float! Ask your child about those rocks and if they remember what they were called.

Ms. Lacey shared some of her special rocks with us too!
