Geology Rocks!

Geology Rocks is a very hands on exploration of Rocks, Minerals & the fun (and frustration) of rock hunting appropriate for 4th and 5th grade students.

Armed with some background knowledge in Mineral Identification techniques and complete instructions on how to complete the activity, students are presented with a number of "mystery minerals" which they attempt to identify by the classic methods of field geology mineral identification.

During the mineral sleuthing portion of the program, students are also encouraged to view, pick up, look at, ask about etc our own extensive display of minerals & elements, including some very exciting fluorescent minerals, optical curiosities and even gold.
