Description
Talking Rocks is a science unit that digs deep into the early history of the Earth from a multicultural lens. This unit brings together the ways that indigenous people told stories about the Earth's history and the ways that western scientists tell those stories. Both groups of people use rocks to tell these stories. One group uses pictographs and petroglyphs in order to make the rocks talk. The other group uses the features of the rocks themselves in order to make the rocks talk. If you are looking for a unit that will engage a diverse group of learners, this is your product!

NGSSHS-ESS1-6
Apply scientific reasoning and evidence from ancient Earth materials, meteorites, and other planetary surfaces to construct an account of Earth’s formation and early history. Emphasis is on using available evidence within the solar system to reconstruct the early history of Earth, which formed along with the rest of the solar system 4.6 billion years ago. Examples of evidence include the absolute ages of ancient materials (obtained by radiometric dating of meteorites, moon rocks, and Earth’s oldest minerals), the sizes and compositions of solar system objects, and the impact cratering record of planetary surfaces.
