Lets Get Ready to Rock!

 
On Thursday we will be heading to Natural Resources Canada to learn about rocks and minerals. Today and yesterday we discussed what the difference was between items in nature, and "natural resources".  First it must be something that occurs in our natural world, and second, it must be something that there is a large enough demand for to make it a resource for humans.  This is what we decided.

The video below includes lots of great information about rocks and minerals. Did you know that scientists have identified more than 3000 different minerals! While watching the video, take a note of ONE really interesting fact that you would like to share with the class.
