Grade 6: Week of March 5th to 9th

On Monday students examined different types of igneous rock: granite, scoria, basalt, pumice, and obsidian to determine how and where they formed. They examined grain size, features of the rock such as holes and weight, and color. We will continue to work on this student inquiry Tuesday and then begin our review sheet on igneous rocks and minerals. Students will take their Minerals and Igneous Rock test on Friday.

Homework for the week:

Tuesday evening: first page of the review sheet, study for the test Friday

Wednesday evening: make sure the entire review sheet is complete, study for Friday's test

Thursday evening: study for Friday's test
