Everybody Loves a Rock
Everybody Loves a Rock Motivator Map for Educators uses the Theory of Multiple Intelligences, English Language Arts and the Next Generation of Science Standards to engage students with rocks. Our geologist expert is a man who walked on the moon to gather his rocks for close examination. Participants are challenged to describe rocks both with eyes wide open and then blindfolded. The rock cycle is introduced and we happily offer to turn that into . . . careful now....a spelling contest.
