- CONDUCT A SERIES OF TESTS TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN ROCKS & MINERALS
- Your students will perform a variety of tests on the six specimens provided to first identify which are rocks and which are minerals.
- Then they will use a series of simple observations and experiments to classify the rocks as igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic.
- In the process, they will perform the series of standard tests used in analyzing geological specimens, including color; luster; streak; hardness; cleavage and fracture; specific gravity; magnetic attraction; and reaction to an acid. The young geologists will also hone their observation and analysis skills!
