This inquiry blog journey started with me, my rock collection and curiosity to learn more. I did not know where exactly I would get to when I started this project, but I have learned so much but still feel like there is more I can explore when it comes to rocks. I have never taken a geology course, but thanks to technology, I can successfully identify various common rocks you can find on your local Victoria beaches. I have learned what to look for and the differences between rocks. Along with the rock identification process, I learned about the different rock healing properties, indigenous connections, and different ways to incorporate rocks into BC curriculum.
So what’s next? I am definitely not done with my rock journey. I want to continue learning more and developing my rock knowledge so I can identify more types of rocks. When time permits it I would love to take a class on how to identify rocks by their minerals and using the rock hammer and everything! For now, I will keep collecting rocks and finding different ways to do art with rocks and bring them into the classroom for my kiddos to enjoy, too.
