Geology, Mineralogy, and Crystal Growing |
|
Learn
about rocks and the minerals that form them. Dig deeper, and
discover the fascinating crystal structures of these minerals.
Much more than just a crystal growing kit, this experiment kit
teaches you the chemistry of crystals and the geological
science behind rock formation with more than 18 hands-on
projects and investigations.
Grow three chemically different types of crystals that exhibit
not only different colors, but also different crystal shapes.
Build three-dimensional geometric models of common crystals
shapes including octahedrons, tetrahedrons, and rhomboids.
Mold your own crystal geode — a hollow rock with crystals
growing inside!
Learn how to test and identify minerals with your very own
collection of real specimen included in the kit. Conduct tests
to determine a mineral’s chemical and physical properties such
as color, luster, streak color, hardness, density, magnetic
properties, and carbon, sulfur, or iron content.
Investigate the geologic rock cycle and learn how the three
main categories of rock — igneous, sedimentary, and
metamorphic — are formed, altered, destroyed and formed again.
