Description
Models are powerful tools for teaching science because they provide useful simplifications of structures and processes, helping to make the unseen seen and the complex simple. Your students will make model rocks using the colorful templates provided, which feature real rock images. Then they use them to look at how rocks are formed and the connections between different types of rock. This dynamic model-making kit provides comprehensive coverage of igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks, and metamorphic rocks.
This model-making kit includes enough materials for students to assemble up to 5 paper models working cooperatively. The included comprehensive teacher resource guide provides illustrated readings, activities, key vocabulary, and an assessment, along with teaching opportunities for students to Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend, and Evaluate their understanding of the concepts presented.
