Rocks, Rocks, and More Rocks!

Our second graders were busy learning about rocks. They have gone over the types of rocks and their attributes. I have a friend who in 6th grade made a sandwich with peanut butter, jelly, goldfish, and bread. They talked about how rocks are in layers and they made layers with their sandwich materials. I loved getting to hear about the hands-on approach to learning about the layers of rock, however I just don't know that I could eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with goldfish on it. 😝

Here are a few more links to other ways to teach about rocks:
