The Three Types of Rocks
The first thing we did together was to sing the “Rock Song.”
It was to the tune of Row, Row, Row Your Boat and
talked about how sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic
rocks are formed.
Then he put the cards in the rocks and minerals chart.
He really loved that and thought the chart/cards were “cool.”
