GIVE THREE EXAMPLES OF HOW YOU EXPERIENCED THE VALUE OF ROCKS IN THE PAST 24 HOURS. HOW IMPORTANT ARE ROCK AND MINERALS IN OUR DAILY LIVES I have used graphite in my pencil, I have used silver because I wear jewelry, and since we own a car we drove on the road and roads are made up of rocks.
WHY DO WE STUDY ROCKS? 1. Tell a story 2. Tells a story of the earths history based on worldview. 3. Usefull- roads jewels, fuels, glass, precious metals, medicines 4. Teaches students how to analyze information. 5. Scenic splendor- grandfather mountain
