2011 Activity Winners!

Congratulations to our three Activity Winners!  These three submissions received praise from our PIE Committee.  Download the activities to use in your classroom!

Metal in Money - submitted by Drew Beahm of Lapel Elementary
This activity demonstrates that minerals are in things we use everyday, like money!  This would be a good substitute for the "Cereal Mining" activity.

Mining in a Peapod - submitted by Carmen Whaley of Lapel Elementary
This activity was submitted as a substitute for the "Mining in a Nutshell" activity, replacing peanuts with soy beans to eliminate the peanut allergy issue.

Rock Around the Clock - submitted by Jackie Gibson of Corydon Elementary
This activity is designed to develop time-telling skills, alphabetization and rock/mineral identification.
