Science: Observing Earth Matter
Studnets will explore rocks to build on their knowledge about matter and to observe that matter is comprised of minute parts. Before examining rocks, students will use magnification tools with common materials to observe the small parts in matter that make up the whole. Students will hone their observational skills and descriptions in preparations for comparing the physical properties of rocks and minerals.
1. Today in class we viewed a website and discussed landforms. You will need to view the website below. Be sure to click on each link to read about the various landforms discussed.
A link to the landforms website discussed in class:

2. Next, in your science journal, you will need to write 3-5 sentences on how you think the landforms were formed.
3. In our second session today, we discussed science vocabulary. In your science journal, make a 3-column chart titled Earth Science Vocabulary.
Label each columun: Know the Word/ Think I know the Word/ No idea what the word means.
Write each of the vocabulary word below in one of those columns:
color, luster, hardness, streak, heat conductor, electricity conductor, matter, erosion, transport, deposit, fossil, rock, mineral, weathering, wear, breakage, mixture, chemical change, physical properties, imprints, natural agents.
