Children are naturally curious about the world around them, including the rocks beneath their feet. By observing, describing, and sorting a variety of rocks, students can discover that rocks have certain physical properties by which they can be classified. This month's article takes a fun approach to learning about the properties, uses, and formation of rocks. Students in grades K-3 explore the properties and uses of their own "pet rock," while students in grades 4-6 investigate "rock stories."
