Rocks and Minerals for Kids - 2 views

  •  
    Short and sweet overview of rocks and minerals. I can see the students researching to build a better background of what silicate/non-silicate refers to and then apply that knowledge to sorting minerals. Could be used as Enrichment.

Sweet Crystal Science Project - HowStuffWorks - 3 views

    i tried this demo for the first time this year. It didn't work perfectly but it really gave the students a visual of the formation of minerals. I would suggest marking the water level on the jar when you first set it up so they can really grasp how much has evaporated by the end. I let mine sit for almost 3 weeks but crystals were forming within 3 days.

    This is cool! Leads students through questions to identify their material. The students will have to test the hardness, cleavage, streak, etc. as they enter their data into this app.
