I would like to have this set of rocks, minerals and fossils for my students so that they are able to see real examples of the different types of rocks.
We are currently reading a unit on Geology and learning about rocks, the rock cycle, minerals and fossils and having this set would help them to better understand the make up of each rock, mineral and fossil.
My students have enjoyed learning about the different types of rocks, but it is difficult as we are not able to find many good rock samples. Please help me give my students the opportunity for hands-on learning.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
