Aiden and I used the school's rock collection and charts to identify different rocks and minerals and their locations in the rock cycle: sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous.
Colson reviewed divergent and convergent boundaries, and hot spots. He analyzed the diagrams of how volcanoes form at these locations, and what their properties are. He answered the questions and watched a video on how the Hawaiian islands on the Pacific hot spot formed. We discussed.
Aiden reviewed sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rock. He analyzed a diagram of the rock cycle and labeled the processes and rock types. He read about uplift, subsidence and rift zone, and labeled a diagram with these processes. We discussed.
Aiden completed his Minerals Lesson Review and quiz. We began the rock cycle. He learned about igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks, weathering, erosion and deposition.
Colson reviewed the types of volcanic landforms. He read about volcanic landforms and tectonic activity at divergent plate boundaries. We analyzed the diagram and he watched an animation of a mid-ocean ridge forming at a divergent plate boundary.
Teddy completed his interactive calendar. He worked on his calendar talk activity. He read and discussed his vocabulary words. He finished his phonics activities pertaining to beginning and ending sounds. He watched and discussed a video about how animals, plants, and humans change their environment.
Libby completed her interactive calendar. She read and discussed her vocabulary words. She finished her calendar talk activity. She worked on her phonics activities pertaining to beginning and ending sounds. She watched a video about how plants, animals, and people change their environment.
Libby completed her interactive calendar. She read and discussed her vocabulary words. She worked on her phonics activities. She finished her calendar talk. She learned about how the environment is changed by plants, animals, and humans.
