4th Grade CAS Program: Earth Sciences from the Discovery Museum

On Tuesday, October 16th, the Creative Arts and Sciences Committee brought the Discovery Museum to Lincoln-Eliot’s 4th graders for a presentation on “Earth Sciences.

This program describes the three basic rock types, their origins, characteristics, and the definition of a mineral.  Students choose a rock and try to identify it by its characteristics.  They grow crystals, view phosphorescent rocks, and make sedimentation chambers to experiment with at home. 

This is one of several curriculum-based enrichment programs that our PTO funds.  Thank you for your continued support of the Creative Arts & Sciences Committee!
