Rocks + Minerals

Is this a Full Unit or Mini Unit? Rocks + Minerals is a Full Unit. Our Full Units are 20 lessons long and designed to take 4-6 weeks to complete. The Student Notebooks from Early Reader and up have 5 pages per day and are designed to cover all your subjects other than math. Mini Units are often shorter in length or in output and while they do have crossover into multiple subjects, they are more focused and intentional on the topic of the unit. They also tend to be more hands-on with less written output. Some families alternate Full Units with Mini Units while others do them alongside one another. What is this unit about? Throughout this unit, you will be learning all about how rocks and minerals are formed, what they look like, where they are found, why they are important, and so much more! By the end of the unit, you will be able to identify rocks right in your own backyard! So grab your gloves, safety goggles, and rock hammer and let’s go rockhounding! Each lesson in the Teacher’s Gu
