TOPS #23 Rocks and Minerals OP

You don't need exotic rocks and expensive minerals to teach Rocks and Minerals. Granite and basalt, plus coarse sand with flecks of mica are your most exotic requirements. Your students will learn from these samples, then extend this knowledge to common rocks they find in their own back yards. They will identify the 3 basic rock types - igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic - and further subdivide these into 12 distinct groups based on geological formation. An egg carton organizes everything into a unique collection of personal discovery and learning experience.
