Science
Our topic for Science this term is Rocks.
Children need to:
Activity 1: Rock Detectives
Look at the links below to find out about different kinds of rocks, their properties and how they are formed.
If you can go for a walk or go in your garden and look for some different rocks that you can bring home and test. If you can’t go out look around your house and out of the window/ front door. What can you see that is made of rock? Write a list. Can you identify any of the rocks that everyday things are made from? Why are they made from that rock? What properties does that rock have that make it suitable for this purpose?
If you are able to find some examples of rocks you can try some of the tests in the pack below.
Activity 2: To understand how fossils are formed.
