Student Created Teaching Video

Below, students write the script, storyboard, shoot and edit the video, and act out the scenes. They then are able to publish their hard work on the blog for the world to see. Would you like your students to do this?



In science we have been learning about rocks and minerals. The NatureScapes program taught us how to identify rocks based on their properties.

We also learned that there are three types of rocks: Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic.

The Rock Cycle

The Rock Cycle

Rocks are grouped depending on how they form. Here is a short video with three students and our good friend Perezoso the sloth that explains how these different rocks are formed. We hope you like it!

Did you learn anything new from the video?

Can you explain how the different rocks are formed?

Do you have any cool rocks?
