Product description
From the author
This blank Venn diagram lets students record similarities and differences between rocks and minerals. The PDF includes one organizer page and one author thanks/copyright page.
Use it before instruction to record prior knowledge, then complete it again after the lesson and discuss changes. Students can share their comparisons in a group. For a reusable science center, laminate the organizer and provide dry-erase markers.
