We just finished our rock and minerals unit in science. One of the best activities we did was this Starburst Rock Cycle. I can't take credit for it and if you know who came up with the idea, please let me know so that I can thank them! My kids absolutely loved this lesson and can really identify the different types of rocks now!

We started off our unit with three different centres to classify the three types of rocks; igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. Anything hands on is always a blast!

Now, anything hands on that involves candy....well, that just makes me the best teacher ever! I was thrilled when I found this idea!

I used Power Point to create a slide show with the different steps to this activity. Prior to the lesson, I made the igneous rock myself, using three Starburst candies and a microwave. I didn't do this step with the kids because I didn't want them to burn themselves and getting 29 students to use 1 microwave was just not possible.

The first rock we made was the sedimentary rock. The kids cut up their three Starburst candies with scissors. Some made tiny pieces, others were happy with just cutting them into quarters. Then, we pressed the "sediments" together to make a sedimentary rock.

We then warmed up our "rocks" in our hands and by blowing on them. It didn't take long for the candy to get warm! We folded it a few times and we had "metamorphic" rocks!

The kids made the connection between the three types of rocks and how they're created. What an awesome lesson that was! Everyone, every single one of my 29 (yes, 29!!) students was completely engaged for the entire lesson!

Challenge accepted, I need to teach more lessons like this!

Here is the lesson plan, PowerPoint presentation and worksheet that I created for my students! It's also available in French!

The entire Rocks and Minerals unit is now available! Check it out for more fun, hands-on activities and lessons, plus 3 assessment tasks with rubrics!

A couple days ago I saw a very neat science experiments with magnets, which reminded me those magnets we have at home. I did some search and find many cool science experiments about magnetism for kids. Here are some of the best magnet science experiment ideas I found.

Magical Science Experiments of Magnetism for Kids

This is the one I found a couple days ago, magnetic experiment with a Valentine's twist - playful heart.

For young children, this magnet sensory bin is a perfect way to explore magnet effects.

Do you know our money is magnetic? You have to go find out now!

Another thing I never thought is the iron in our breakfast cereal. This experiment will visually show you the iron in your food with the help of magnets.

This magic pipe cleaner is another fun magnet activity for young children.

Magnetic sculpture, building with magnets, is such a creative idea, yet is totally fun.

I am sure kids will be thrilled to watch the compass they make giving them direction. Here is how to make your own compass.

Older kids will be able to do this one - measuring the strength of a magnet.

To learn more about magnetism, you can watch this short YouTube video.

There's just something fulfilling in sending an object hurtling through the air, don't you agree? Well, even if you don't, something tells me some of the kiddos you know would agree with me. Why not channel that interest into these amazing catapults for kids!?

Ideas and Activities for Catapults for Kids

In addition to being an exciting experience, catapults lead to so much thinking and learning! Fine motor skills, science, and math are just a few subjects that catapults help children learn about. Have you and your kiddos ever made one, or played with one? If not, here are 14 FUN ideas to try!

The Educators' Spin On It created a trebuchet (a type of catapult) using a tinker box kit.

Therapy Fun Zone used clothespin catapults during a learning game.

We used a catapult to create art over the summer.

JDaniel4's Mom used a coffee can to make a catapult.

Kids Activities Blog made an easy catapult with just a few materials from around the house.

Science Sparks experimented with elasticity while making a catapult.

Which of these catapults for kids would you like to try out first? So many choices - I'm not sure I could narrow it down!

If you enjoyed these ideas, you might want to check these out, too -

Materials for the Catapults

There are some really amazing STEM activities in this list. But, perhaps the children want to come up with their own catapult designs. Check out this list of materials for some inspiration.
