Check out all we have discovered during the science unit! Over the past 2 weeks, students learned: about Earth’s materials, how rocks and minerals are effected by erosion and weathering, the rock cycle, and so much more.
Blog Post Written by Year 5 Brufftopians Tuesday, October 31, 2017, Mr. Bruff’s class went to Whipple Hill for a field trip. The students were very excited. They learned a lot about erosion, weathering, and the many different kinds of rocks on Whipple Hill.
