Everyday Geology takes a closer look at the different properties of rocks and
minerals using two group explorations: Properties and Edible Minerals. Layers of
the earth and formation of rocks are studied using the explorations: Plate Tectonics
and Metamorphic Taffy.
·Properties explores physical and chemical properties of rocks and minerals, such as
hardness, crystal habit, luster, streak, cleavage, color, specific gravity, and
reactivity, and what their results can tell us.
·Edible Minerals looks further into a minerals crystal habit and demonstrates what
they look like.
·Plate Tectonics examines how the surface of the Earth us broken into large plates
and how convergent, divergent, and conservative motion affect the formation and
reformation of the Earths surface.
·Metamorphic Taffy demonstrates the act of a rock being transformed into
Metamorphic rock using pressure.
Objectives:
Students will:
-define and demonstrate the 3 different motions of the Earth's plates.
-explore the different properties of minerals and how they relate to identifying
separate minerals.
-list the different types of rocks.
-demonstrate a minerals crystal habit by building a crystal.
