To the Edge and Ready to Fly...

An eagle isn't taught to fly by watching the mother's wings as she hovers over the nest. An eagle learns to fly by being pushed from the nest, being caught and pushed again until the eagle learns to fly. At CCJHS, we want to push students to the edge of learning. We want our students to fall over the edge until they are able to fly on their own...creating their own personalized path of learning based on their own data knowledge. #CCJHSEaglePride means a student owning their own learning.

Enrichment: Rocks and Fossils

Visit http://www.onegeology.org/extra/kids/fossils.html. Take some time to enjoy the different items on this page THEN

While you are on the website, click on 'geological maps' like you see in the picture below

Enjoy exploring this page but make sure you find the map that looks like this and spend time hovering over the map.

Then find the picture that looks like this and click on the word 'rock'.

After you have explored the page, take time to take the quiz about rocks and minerals to see what you have learned!

The prompt for this assignment is post a list of at least 5 things you learned while exploring rocks and fossils through your stations as well as the selected website. Yes, this should be in complete sentences. I can't wait to see what you have learned. See you at the edge!
