Product Overview
Mineral identification through step-by-step testing is explored. The teacher’s reference chart 18" x 24" in wood frame uses graphics and mounted mineral specimens to assist students in identifying unlabeled mineral specimens. As each specimen is identified, each student progresses toward the completion of his or her individual chart (8-1/2" x 11"). Grades 6+, Ages 11+.
These hands-on projects enable students to examine and identify individual rock and mineral specimens as a study unit in Earth Science. Each classroom activity project includes: 18" x 24" wood framed reference chart, complete with mounted specimens; 30 student charts on heavy card stock (reproductions of the reference chart); 30 specimens of each rock and mineral represented — to be studied and glued on each chart during the activity; one test kit including streak plate, glass plate, hand lens, magnet, dropper bottle, nail, penny, hardness scale and the Scott Resources’ Rocks and Minerals Study Guide. Many of these activities and charts are suitable for college use.
