Welcome to Science Lesson Resources for Teachers and Parents!

1. See the 10 photos of weathering 2. Choose your favorite 3. Tell us the number of the photo  Describe the photo - what do you see there. Weathering and Erosion Information and Effects | National Geographic Or download it as a PowerPoint: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1XEKA1nZ5qIsDV7z8yQYA55Hhvwl3C_cR/edit?usp=drive_link&ouid=105880275394476122937&rtpof=true&sd=true

  Erosion is when soil , rock, or dissolved material are removed from one location and transported to another.  There can by wind, water.  Erosion | Description, Causes, Facts, & Types | Britannica Here is a nice online simulation game for erosion: Water Erosion and Deposition

 The book has 28 pages https://drive.google.com/file/d/12yhfUjcBJQqmpoMgI-0dn6jlyFiCMs8t/view?usp=drive_link

 Soap bubbles, water droplets in a rainbow, oyster shells, opal mineral, peacock feathers, CD disks - why do the look colorful? Let's learn about iridescence and about a material called nacre or mother-of-pearl!

     Did you know that there is a kind of rock that can float in water? It is called pumice    But how can it do it? Pumice is an igneous rock , which means it is was formed from hot lava. The bubbles of gas that stuck inside pumice make it lighter than water and able to float.

    What is the difference between a rock and a mineral? - Rocks are mixtures, and minerals are pure What are the three textures of rocks? - Glassy, coarse, and fine.

You can see that it is a coarse rock. Also, it has many things inside it, like sandstone, barnacles, etc. Therefore it is a rock, not a mineral. https://javalab.org/en/igneous_rock_en Build your own rock, and post a picture of it in the chat https://neal.fun/rocks Play with rocks Blooket  https://www.blooket.com/set/62824a1783e3d12e7de6ddfc ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Download the lesson materials for this lesson from the Google Drive https://drive...

    Did you know that  minerals with the same chemical formula can look differently? But why? The molecules in their crystals are packed differently. These minerals are called POLYMORPHS. Let's do some fun hands-on activity and model minerals Aragonite, Calcite, and Vaterite. They all have a chemical formula CaCO3 Instructions 1. Print this page for each student https://drive.google.com/file/d/1i3D8aEFppVL4Ti_I5P-UnR2G7FN4_pEf/view?usp=sharing 2. The students shall cut out the “bricks” from the bottom of the page, using scissors 3. Then they shall glue them in to imitate the patterns of each polymorph, like here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nJmIx5F5kw6C5G1G4cRpcrXzoPd-h5Dk/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=107319702544106702140&rtpof=true&sd=true 4.

     What is the difference between a mineral and a rock? - Minerals are pure, and a rock is a mixture How to identify minerals? - By colour, streak, luster, etc. Why do we need minerals? - For decoration, chemistry, construction https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/17e5EheHeyr70nZxPIKnTeg7EmJCE0ZDz?usp=sharing

     We are starting to learn about minerals. Minerals look nice and do not expire with time. It is not too expensive to buy some mineral sets online.
