This past Thursday, November 14th, the Creative Arts and Sciences Committee brought the Discovery Museum to Lincoln-Eliot’s 4th graders for an Earth Science presentation on Rocks and Minerals.
What is the difference between a rock and a mineral? How do rocks and minerals form? This hands-on program taught our students about the three basic rock types, plus how to grow your own crystals and make a sedimentation chamber. The kids were sent home with recipes for “Igneous Fudge” and “Sedimentary Sandwiches” plus other resources to explore. Ask your 4th grader what they learned!
This is one of several curriculum-based enrichment programs that our PTO funds. Thank you all for your support of the Creative Arts & Sciences Committee!
