Stemscopes in 2nd Grade

In the second grade, we are studying about Earth and Space for our scope unit. The students are learning about rocks and how to classify them. After discussing the many ways that rocks can be classified, the students went outside and collected several rocks. They then sorted and classified according to size, shape, color , and texture. Next week we will expand what we learned and learn about the effects of weathering and erosion on the Earth’s surface.
