Geosciences Industries 13357 Introductory Earth Science Classroom Rocks and Minerals Collection

Description

This classroom rocks and minerals collection provides students with hands-on
experience testing physical properties. The collection and materials are
designed to correlate with standard earth science texts, and can be used for
demonstrating the physical properties of minerals, including hardness,
specific gravity, luster, tenacity, cleavage, fracture, streak, and magnetism.
The collection includes 75 rock and mineral samples (measuring approximately
1-2″), a streak plate, a magnifier, a collection index sheet, and a study
guide (with rock classification and rock cycle charts). The samples fall into
1 of 7 categories- minerals in the scale of hardness, streak-luster-cleavage-
fracture-specific gravity, rock forming minerals, ores of metals and
nonmetals, igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks, and metamorphic rocks. This
collection is great both at home and in the classroom, designed for grades
4-12. Science education products incorporate applied math and science
principles into classroom projects. Teachers in pre-K, elementary, and
secondary classrooms use science education kits and products alongside
science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum to demonstrate
STEM concepts and real-world applications through hands-on activities. Science
education projects include a broad range of activities, such as practical
experiments in engineering, aeronautics, robotics, energy, chemistry, physics,
biology, and geology.
