WB 20 Science 1~* Rocks & Minerals

We began the day learning from our read aloud about Ancient Greece.
Then went outside to collect rocks that we could study.We did lessons 6-8 in the Considering God's Creation book.

Then the kids looked at the characteristics of the rocks and filled out the Rock detective sheet.

We then separated to do the age appropriate projects.

Angelo & Job learned to identify the different rock characteristics hands on.I used a poster board and divided it in sections.I Then use index cards to change it.

Evolution stumper: It has been estimated that the erosion and the breakdown of plants, about 6 inch. of topsoil is formed over 5-20,000 yrs. Most of the land on the earth has only 7-8 inch. of topsoil. If the earth were millions of years old, as evolutionists say it is,shouldn't there be a lot more topsoil?
