The students will create their own picture dictionary of the new vocabulary words they learned. They will use their observations and notes they took from the previous two lessons. Each dictionary will be individualized. The children will include the words that they learned. This dictionary can be part of their Science Notebook. I will also have the children go back to the work they did for Lesson 1 and see if they can use some of this new vocabulary correctly to describe their rocks. I am listing words I would like to see in their dictionaries. These words and their meanings will be up on the Science Word Wall. You can find these words and many others at www.enchantedlearning.com
.
Materials:
science note book
crayons/colored pencils
words and definitions from their notes
MY ROCKING DICTIONARY BASALT- dark igneous rock
BILLION- a thousand million
ERUPTION- volcanic activity in which lava or gases are released
EXTRUSIVE IGNEOUS ROCKS- rocks that have cooled at the surface of the Earth. They usually have a fine-grain texture.
FOOL'S GOLD- pyrite, a shiny metallic mineral that looks like gold. Marcasite stones come from pyrite.
FOSSILS- remains of ancient animals and plants
GEOLOGY- study of Earth, its history including the study of rocks and minerals
GEOLOGIST- a scientist who studies geology
GNEISS- metamorphic rock that has light and dark bands
GRANITE- igneous rock that is light and coloredand coarse gained. Granite underlies much of the continentsHILL- raised area
HOTSPOTS- where magma rises. Volcanoes erupt over hotspots.
IGNEOUS ROCK- when molten rocks cool, igneous rocks are formedLAVA- molten rock that comes out of a volcanoe
MAGMA- molten rock [lava] form which igneous are formed
METAMORPHIC ROCK- are compacted by pressure and heat from deep inside the Earth
MOUNTAIN- very tall high natural place on Earth
SAND- loose material composed of fine debris of rock and mineral particles
SANDSTONE- grainy sedimentary rock
SCHIST- crystalline metamorphic rock- Schist is fomed from shale [ a sedimentary rock ]
SEDIMENTARY ROCK- formed from sediment like sand and mud and small pieces of rock- Over long periods of time these small pieces of debris are squeezed as they ae buried under more and more layers of sediment that piles up on top of it.
SHALE- sedimentary rock
Procedure:
1. Using their notes and observations children will create picture dictionary.
2. They will use their science notebooks.
3. They will turn and talk and discuss their definitions for the vocabulary words.
4. They will place their vocabulary words in alphabetical order.
5. They will create their dictionary by labeling the top of each page with the letters of the alphabet.
6. This dictionary will be a living document. They will be revisiting it and adding to it as we continue this unit of study-UNIT 1 EARTH MATERIALS WHAT MATERIALS MAKE UP THE EARTH GRADE 2
