Have you ever tried putting the different pebbles you can find into families? Here are some ideas: 'Rock Explorers; putting rocks into families'.
In this ELI Early Years activity, as Rock Explorers, children investigate a variety of rocks and sort them into groups. They can sort rocks/fossils into groups using a range of criteria e.g. shape, size, colour, how heavy they feel. They can then create their own forms of classification.
Other ELI Early Years activities can be found in our Cross-Curricular activities.
Continuing the climate theme of last week, today's ELI is 'Climate on arrival; if you suddenly arrived somewhere – what would tell you what the climate was like?'
This activity involves looking for features that might be indicators of the current climate. It explains the difference between 'climate' and 'weather'.
Related activities about climate and climate change can be found in our Resources and Environment category.
