Students from around
the globe will team up to identify different rocks found in their community. Join us in this collaborative project,
comparing rocks found around the world. The
focus of this project is to identify rocks in your community, decide which of the
three different types of rocks (sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic) they
are, and to compare them with other classroom findings around the world. All
students are welcome to participate, however, it is recommended for upper
elementary and middle school students. There
is no fee to participate, but before registering, please read the "Project
Instructions" page to become familiar with a checklist that displays all
of the expectations of participants.
In order to make this Web 2.0 I would have students use discussion boards to help one another identify rocks. They would be the experts in the classroom and when students submitted their rocks they would have to determine whether the students from around the world were correct or not. This would be a great way for them to continue their knowledge of the rock cycle and would allow them to collaborate about their scientific reasoning.
