1. Yummy Rocks
The students will be able to identify and explain the three categories of rocks: igneous, (formed from molten rock); sedimentary (pieces of other rocks and fossilized organisms); and metamorphic (formed from heat and pressure) at the completion of the lesson.

2. Be a Fossil Detective
...hy Centenary College of Louisiana Shreveport, LA 71104 Level: Elementary to Middle School Anticipated Learning Outcomes Students will learn that the Earth has a history; e.g., rock types are located where they are due to the past history of the Earth; conversely, its history can be derived from the rocks. Students will be introduced to the geological time scale: the Earth is ancient; time can be divided into periods based on its fossil content. Students will see how sedimentary rocks containing fossils can form. Students will see the changes in life through time (e.g., evolution). Students will discover that geology...

3. Pattern and Design in Nature
...orm. In discussion, students will learn how patterns result from natural growth processes (e.g., shell growth) and land-shaping processes (e.g., erosion). Background Art is a fun way to encourage children to see the world around them and increase their visual awareness. Natural objects like shells, rocks, minerals, and plants have subtle and striking detail, regularity of pattern, texture, and shape. By exploring natural design, students will be encouraged to observe the natural world more closely. Materials Paper, pencils, colored pencils or crayons, drawing surface Magnifying glass Natural objects (e.g., modern se...

8. Dino2
David and Peggy follow the process of methods for assembling a Diplodocus dinosaur skeleton. DINOSAURS II Assembling a Dinosaur Where do scientists find dinosaur bones? Why would someone want to rebuild a dinosaur? Why are people so interested in dinosaurs? DISCUSSION The rocks where fossils are found can be soft and crumbly or very hard. Often both the rocks and the fossilized bones contain minerals that help protect the bones from weathering. Exposed bone, however, is sometimes very fragile. To prevent the bones from breaking, paleontologists, the scientists who study dinosaurs, use cert...

9. Science: What Happens to Create the Lode?
...the reacting atoms and molecules encounter one another, on the temperature, and on the properties including shape--of the reacting species. Teacher Background The three main types of rock are: Igneous Metamorphic Sedimentary Sedimentary rock is formed in three main ways?by the accumulation of other rocks pieces (known as 'clastic' sedimentary rocks), by the accumulation of biogenic activity (fossils), and by precipitation from solution. As sediment deposits build up, the overburden (or lithostatic) pressure squeezes the sediment into layered solids in a process known as lithification ("rock formation"). Sedimentary...
