Minerals are the basic building blocks of the solid Earth which when combined in different ways create many types of rocks. In this class, students discover where geologists find the majority of rocks and minerals, how they form, and how to identify them. Each lesson contains a hands-on activity demonstrating the concept taught. Field trips are planned for the Weis Science Museum and Planetarium and the Iron Mountain, Iron Mine at an additional cost.
