Let's Rock
For a “Let’s Rock” activity, students can explore rocks in three major categories: sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic. Your students might create their own multi-page ebook or create one page for a collaborative class ebook. Encourage students to combine media as they snap pictures, search for images and record their voice.
There are lots of different types of rocks and students of different ages will be expected to talk about rocks in ways that are appropriate for their grade level. For example, you might ask students in Kindergarten to use words like hard or bumpy, and students in high school to discuss erosion and weathering.

Students can create an ebook to explore different types of rocks.
With Book Creator, students can snap pictures of rocks they’ve found or search for pictures of rocks in different parts of the world. As students build their domain-specific vocabulary around this topic, they can showcase their learning in a multimedia ebook!
An ebook “All About Rocks” can capture everything students have learned about this topic. You might ask students to include:





Information on different types of rocks
Definitions of key terms
A selfie holding a rock they identified
A picture of a rock they found in their community
Images of structures or landforms composed of rocks
Questions to ask a geologist about rocks

In this example of an ebook featuring different types of rocks, there is a graphic organizer with pictures of three types of rocks.
Students can record their voice or type definitions to add to their page.
