You will need:
Sturdy bags for collecting, egg cartons, tempera paint, paint brushes, small containers of water, newspaper, clear nail polish (optional).

Teachers begin by explaining to preschool children that they will be looking for rocks to collect during an outdoor walk in the park etc.  While outside talk with children about the shapes, sizes and colors of the rocks they find. Help the children compare the sizes, textures, colors and shapes of the rocks and stones.

Classroom: Teachers help small groups of children wash and dry the rocks.  Then sort them into piles according ot size, color, shape or texture.  Create a rook collection by using egg cartons  to store and display the rocks and stones according to size etc.

Materials: Books about various activities in the world, such as  tornadoes, glaciers, avalanche, volcanos, thunder, floods etc.

Description: Before we start this topic we look through different  pictures. We talk about volcanos in North and Central America and what happens when a volcano erupts. After that we make a volcano from clay, soda, food color and a little vinegar. The next day children draw volcanos. When we did this activity some children gave ideas about stopping volcanic eruptions.  A few children drew ladders and fireman on top of the ladder spraying water on the volcano. One child said that only God can stop volcanos from erupting.

Playing outside encourages gross motor and observation skills in young children. It also allows them to move more freely and gives them an opportunity to be loud.
