Third Grade Geologists!

Third graders are becoming geologists. Today they studied 
"mock rocks" and performed tasks similar to what geologists 
would when studying rocks and minerals.  They sketched their
rocks and wrote about the physical characteristics (properties). They 
then measured the rock's depth, diameter, circumference, and weight. 
Weighing "mock rocks" on a balance scale.
How many grams did each rock weigh?

Measuring circumference.

Measuring diameter.

More measuring.

More weighing.

More measuring.
