Rock Trading Cards

Last week I gave each student in Mrs. Koenig’s class the name of a different rock. They did research to determine what type of rock this was, what it looks like, where it’s found, how it’s formed, and how it’s used. This week, we started by going to Britannica Image Quest from the Clever home screen and students found a picture of their rock that they wanted to use for their trading card. They saved the image to their desktop. Then they went to this website to turn their photo into a trading card. They uploaded their photo, typed the name and type of rock, and added a description of their rock from their research notes. When they were done, they downloaded the finished trading card and uploaded it into their post on Google Classroom. Take a look at some of the finished trading cards!
