## About

**Coming soon.** This planned resource will help learners in grades 3–4 use observable properties to compare earth materials with original, editable materials and separate teacher guidance.

The planned content covers properties, mineral/rock distinction, formation, rock-cycle models.

## How it will work

1. Five teacher scripts: model, guided attempt, independent response, feedback.
2. Five matched student pages with 4 responses each.
3. Cumulative retrieval and a transfer task in lesson five.

A separate teacher companion is planned with prerequisites, teaching guidance, answers or worked examples, and support options.

## Availability

This resource is in development. Student materials and the teacher guide will become available on this same page after the finished package has passed review. The planned content may be refined during production.
