Earth Science Glog

My class’ new unit is focused on Earth Science. 

Have students research a material of the earth and create a glog using their information.One of the activities we are working on is our Earth’s Materials Glog project.  My students are using books like Rocks and Minerals and Usborne Geographical Encyclopedia, as well as websites like http://www.kidsgeo.com/geology-for-kids/ and kid-friendly search engines like www.factmonster.com to find information about a material they chose.  Some of the earth’s materials they have chosen are: clay, gold, granite, diamond, pearl, ruby and sapphire.  When they finished with their research by the end of this week and then they will use http://edu.glogster.com to create a glog about their material.

Stop by my blog – Raki’s Rad Resources – for more Earth Science ideas.
