Let's go on a rock hunt!
Think of some places near your home where you might be able to find some rocks.
Try to find at least three different rocks and draw a picture of each one. Remember that rocks come in many different sizes. You might want to look for some rocks that are small enough to pick up with one hand, some rocks that are too big to lift, and maybe even some rocks that are bigger than you are!
As you are drawing, you might want to think about these questions:
- Where did you find this rock?
- How would you describe this rock?
- Close your eyes and touch this rock. What does it feel like? Are parts of it smooth? Are parts of it rough?
- How is it different from the other rocks you found?
- Do you see any patterns in this rock? Look at the whole rock. Does it look like it is all made of the same thing or does it look like it is made up of smaller parts?
- Are there any other rocks where you found this one?
When you are finished, look at all of your pictures. How are these rocks the same? How are they different?
