VAST Science Units
Pebbles, Sand & Silt

 

This module introduces students to several kinds of rocks. Students sort, wash, compare, and seriate rocks. They separate mixtures of rocks with screens, and investigate clay and soil. After students have had many experiences with these earth materials, they participate in projects that demonstrate how people use earth materials in their daily lives.
