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.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/edci336inquiryblogbf.opened.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9949\/2026\/03\/IMG_3530-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"multiple stacks of balanced rocks\" class=\"wp-image-250\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/edci336inquiryblogbf.opened.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9949\/2026\/02\/IMG_2998-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"small rocks in hand\" class=\"wp-image-195\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/edci336inquiryblogbf.opened.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9949\/2026\/01\/IMG_7168-1-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"rocks and logs on beach\n\" class=\"wp-image-160\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>So what\u2019s 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.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This inquiry blog journey started with me, my rock collection and curiosity to learn more.
