Read the book Rocks Are Everywhere by Deborah P. Cerbus. Show the children a variety of rocks. Have the children call out things they notice. Ask questions such as, “Which rock is the smallest? How can we find out?” “Which rock is the heaviest?” or “What can we use to find the answer?” Let the children know they can find more rocks and explore them in the science center with scales and rulers. This could be done in large group.
