Crystal Structures of Rocks

For this Earth Science lab, my students used marshmallows and toothpicks to create one of the five crystalline structures. The students worked in groups of 3-4. When students completed their structure, they used their smart phone to take a picture of their creation and then sent it to my blog.

I used my blogger account to set up an email for the students to email their photo to. Once they were submitted, we viewed the pictures as a class and identified what each structure was as a class.

The only issues I ran into were some connection issues for students. Every group had at least one person who was able to submit photos via email.

I am definitely going to continue to use blogger for projects similar to this.
