Rocks!

Today in class, we observed many different rocks. Rocks don't seem very exciting but when you actually take the time to obseve them, it really is interesting to see how they are made and what they look like. The four different rocks differed in so many ways and it is so interesting to see their different colors, textures, and shapes. One of the rocks reminded me very much of clay with its smooth texture and brown color. Another one of the rocks fell apart right away, so I think that means that is was very old and was wearing away. The other three rocks seemed to have a rough texture, and were different shapes. It is just interesting to think about the fact that those rocks could have been formed so many years ago, but we really have no idea when.

Nature is such a mystery! I mean, there are so many questions about nature that no one can answer off the top of their heads. Not only regarding rocks, but all different kinds of nature is just so important to see what is always around us that we don't even notice. This classs is really teaching me to start to appreciate all the nature that is constantly around us that we take advantage of. Nature really is a beautiful thing that I am finally learning to appreciate!


Rocks come in all different sizes, from big to small, we can still see them all!

These rocks look gray, 'bumpy', and my assumption is that they are very old. I am making an assumption that these rocks formed many years ago.

These are my favorite kind of rocks, just because they are at the beach. I love the beach! Some rocks at the beach are very smooth probably because they are constantly hitting the sand and the water. I can't wait to go to the beach this summer! where I will be sure to observe all the rocks so I can one day talk about them in my classroom!
