Mineralogy - 3rd through 6th
Students learn the physical properties of minerals, then work in groups to identify specimens. A highly motivational class, as kids keep all the minerals they can identify at the end of the lesson! Minerals are the building blocks of the earth, and our society depends upon them for fuel, housing, transportation, and technology. Learn how geologists find minerals, and see lots of beautiful specimens! One hour.
