Today we started SCIENCE! We came up with a lot of things that we already know about rocks and minerals, but we were also able to come up with a lot of interesting questions.  Most of the students in class are especially interested in learning about rocks from outer space.  There was a question about asteroids hitting Earth and ending the world which I don't believe I will get around to covering :), but I will look for some articles on rocks and minerals in space. One of the things that students already know about rocks and minerals is that sand can be made into glass, and that glass can be blown to make interesting shapes.  We looked up Seattle glass artist Dale Chihuly and saw pictures of some of his art to end our science lesson for today.
