When I give these created rocks* to teachers in a workshop they think they're real and don't want to destroy them by scratching them or smashing them to bits.

My students love drawing, measuring, scratching, and then smashing their rocks to find what's in each rock. It's a great way to review many of the tests we use while studying rocks without destroying your collection of rocks. Students feel like scientists!

• Lesson overview and activity overview videos make it easy to get started with a quick introduction to the tasks included with the lesson.
• Videos of acid, magnet, and streak tests makes it easy to share additional tests that might be used to identify a mineral or a rock.
• Choose from a recording booklet or worksheets saved in both English and Spanish.
• A web page created just for this product includes additional resources and activity suggestions

This is a great activity for an after school class or a science club.
