Science Challenge 4:
YOU get to tell us what YOU already know, about ... ROCKS
That's right. All we want to know is what you know. Write a short paragraph and tell us something about what kinds of rocks you know, how they are different, how they are made... Include some details and examples if you can. Make it interesting! Make it fun!
Remember to use good language rules and structure when you write.
GOOD LUCK!
