The Stone Diaries: an Integrated Science and Visual Arts Exploration

During their Science unit on rocks and minerals, Grade 4 students had the opportunity to work in the rock carving studio in the Upper School with Head of Art, Dr. Davidson. Starting with small rocks and using chisels and carving tools, they learned how to find the beauty in the shape and natural colour of their rocks. Students recorded their thoughts about the carving experience and tried to answer the question they have been exploring in their Science unit: is mining rocks and minerals worth it?
