What educators are saying

This was very helpful in teaching this unit since my district doesn't provide us with very much curriculum in science!

Description

The study of rocks and soil is no longer boring—not with these tasks! This rock and soil unit is jam-packed with tasks and activities for you and your students—anchor charts, vocabulary, photos, investigations, links, and much more! It’s ideal for the K-2 learner (and their teacher!) It, also, includes some tasks on water uses.

You get great pictures to enhance your lessons and there are ideas for presenting those as well. It's easy to integrate with the book suggestions, writing tasks, and included jokes and poems. This resource has been digitized to meet various teaching needs; but many of the printable pieces work well as teaching visuals.

Here’s what you’ll get with your purchase:

✅ 2 Sets of Anchor Chart Pieces for Making Your Own Anchor Charts

Tips from Walk with Me a Second:

✂️Teacher Note: I made these with extra wide lines to make cutting easier. Worksheets and investigation pages are in black ink; but photos and anchor chart pieces are in color for appeal (could be printed in grayscale.)
