Rocking Rock Lab


Yesterday I was looking through the gazillions of pictures on my phone ..... and came across the ones I took of my students making edible rocks. Now my class loves science, but any time we combine food and science, my kids and I are ecstatic! So I decided to have them make edible rocks. I made a few lab sheets for the kiddos to use while making their rock models and off to the science lab we went. They had so much fun!! I mean, come on, who doesn't loooove chocolate?
















The 3 Types of Rocks Ready to Eat


On the tables are their Interactive Science Spirals with their lab pages already glued in. This makes life much easier for me and the kids, as it's all together and in order. Here is one lab sheets from my unit on rocks. Click on the link below to to get a free copy.

An App for the Teacher


I love apps for my kids, and they love them, too. It seems that they all have smart phones or tablets, so why not take advantage of it? If your students haven't tried Splash Math, it's time to try it!  It is arranged by skill and level, which makes it fantastic for RTIs and for enrichment for your GT students. Simply assign a content skill and the level you want them to master.
