Minerals Concept Map



The above concept map of minerals would be great to use in a Grade 3 Science class. I would divide the student into groups of 2 and give each group a computer with the start of a concept map (the 4 main divisions of the above concept map). Their task would be to go to the following website, http://teach.fcps.net/trt20/projects/EKU/Default.htm and expand the given concept map in inspiration with the information they found at this website. An example of a finished concept map is the one I have posted. You could do the same for rocks by the use of the same website.

The ICT outcomes covered in this activity are:
GLO C4: Students will use organizational processes and tools to manage inquiry
SLO 2.2: organize information, using such tools as a database, spreadsheet or electronic webbing
GLO P4: Students will organize and manipulate data.
SLO 2.2: display data electronically through graphs and charts
