1.7C Gather evidence of how rocks, soil, and water help to make useful products.

__**Suggested Pacing:**__ Objective: Review what a NATURAL RESOURCE is with students and list the natural resources we have learned so far: soil, rocks, and water. - Review how products can come from these sources. - Introduce the natural resource that your class will be researching. Discuss the products that come from this natural resource and make a splash down brainstorming chart. - Ask kids where we can find these products in our daily lives? Make a table chart with various products and where they can find them.
 * Day One- Four: Interactive Bulletin Board Final Assessment. **
 * During this week teachers are going to collaborate with their class to make a piece of our grade level interactive bulliten boards for natural resources and products. Each class has been assigned a resource: **
 * **Teacher** || **Resource** ||
 * Heine || Water ||
 * Santiago || Water ||
 * Macias || Soil ||
 * Allen || Soil ||
 * Maggart || Rocks ||
 * Riley || Rocks ||
 * Day One:**

Objective: Gather products for bulletin board.
 * Day Two:**

Suggestions: - Magazine search - Digital pictures on a school resources hunt - Students bring in products from home and share

Objective: Construction of interactive bulletin board. - Be sure to label products as other classes will be touring the halls to learn from every interactive bulletin board.
 * Day Three:**

Objective: Tour the various resource boards in the hallway. -Students will fill in the assessment sheet (being sent) to identify various antural resources and the products that comes them along with their uses. Social Studies Lesson
