Program Description
Join a DINOSAURS ROCK expert for this geological journey, exploring the world of Rocks & Minerals, complete with real museum quality specimens as the backdrop. Best of all, we ship out real minerals and gemstones for each student to keep! We'll cover Rocks & Minerals and Geology via on-line demos, screen shares, and expansive exhibits of Amethyst, Quartz, Giant Geodes, Quartz, Pyrite, Emerald, Citrine and more... Students will learn about Rocks & Mineral as vital resources in our everyday lives, how Gemstones form, the origin of volcanic crystal-filled geodes (with a visual demo of splitting a REAL geode), plate tectonics (depending on grade) covering the large-scale dynamic forces that affect earth's land, water and atmospheric systems, weathering and erosion. Customized to meet teacher needs and grade level. Other classroom activities such as crack-your-own Geodes available. Web site links to Study Guide and Mineral ID chart provided. 23th year!
