Rock On!

What do tungsten light bulbs, frying pans, and flower pots all have in common?

They are all made from minerals.

I discovered this mineral-tastic piece of trivia from a terrific English website called The Learning Zone. This site is child-friendly (perfect for the age group of our class), and has plenty of information on rocks and minerals. Go to http://www.oum.ox.ac.uk/thezone/index.htm

Parents, please alert your child to this site. We started studying Rocks and Minerals today and to say the children were enthusiastic would be an understatement. 

They will. They will. Rock you - with their knowledge!
