The rocks and soil science unit is always a favorite among Kindergarten students. Throughout this unit we have had fun sorting rocks according to observable attributes, describing rocks using multiple attributes, learning about soil composition, and creating our own fossils!
Making "Soil"
Crushed oreo was used to mimic top soil. The chocolate pudding represents the sub soil. Of course to the gummy worm was needed to illustrate how earthworms enrich our soil!
Creating Fossils
After studying how fossils are made, students had fun creating their own using play-doh and dinosaur manipulatives.
