Earth Science ~ Rocks and Minerals

In this module students will collect, categorize, and describe various materials they find in and on the ground. They will extend their own personal classification systems by using geologists’ tests to describe rocks, minerals and soils in new ways. Finally, students will use what they know about the properties of these materials to think about how each can be used for building or in landscaping.
