Of Rocks and Minerals

The kids love collecting rocks,

all kinds of rocks.

It must run in our family, 

my grandma collects heart shaped rocks

for a friend of hers.

After we completed our Supercharged Science Review,

we began looking at the mineralogy experiments in Unit 20: Earth Science.

We have a huge collection of rock and mineral samples. I have purchased some and we've found many. 

We've used a combination of those to do some of the lessons. 

We've completed the color streak test, Mohs' hardness scale, Cleavage and fracture, and the acid test.

There are a lot more to dig into. There's even a recipe for rock candy.
