Rocks and minerals are all around. Our use of rocks and minerals includes building materials, cosmetics, cars, roads, and appliances. In order to maintain a healthy lifestyle and strengthen the body, humans need to consume minerals daily, grade 7 students of Presidium while covering the Geography chapter, Inside Our Earth were acquainted with the various types of Rocks and Minerals. An Art Integrated Activity - Collage of Monuments made of Rocks was designed for them. The symbiotic relationship between art and social studies suggests a compatible pairing in an integrated curriculum. Social studies present knowledge of human experiences, while art has the power to provide an intimate understanding of human experiences through personal encounters that yield insights. Students researched and collected five pictures of historical monuments made up of Rocks.
