Geology- Goldrush

I know you may not have your books at home and your family may not have a printer so do the best that you can.

Please just do what you can, be creative in how you respond to me: you can send me an email (if you are allowed to be online), get your parent to reply to me with your answers, find some paper and pencil equipment around your house, and bring the work you do back to school when we get to be back in class again.

 

I will send tasks each day, sometimes with choices:

Choose what looks the most interesting to you and is ok with your family!

Wednesday:

Task 1. Look at the picture below and then choose one of the following activities to try.

 

·       Choose one of the people in the picture, give them a name, and tell me what they are doing, what they are hoping to have happened, and what they might eat for their lunch?

·       Make a list of all the equipment you can see in the picture, can you name it and the job it does? Can you draw any of the equipment? Do you have anything around your house that you could use to make a model of one of the pieces of equipment (clay, modeling Fimo, wax, wood to whittle, cardboard and scissors).

·       Could you write a diary entry or letter to a brother or sister as if it is written by one of the people in the photo?

·       Can you do a drawing or painting of these people if they had just found a large lump of alluvial gold?
