| Hey there, welcome back to another Saturday Science project!
Most of us don’t give much thought to rocks, but every rock you see holds a small piece of our planet’s history.
Turn your home into a geology lab and explore these stories together with our How to Test Rocks activity! |
|
| Your young geologist will study different types of rocks and the minerals they contain through several hands-on rock tests: |
|
| Hardness tests Color streak tests Magnetism tests Acidity tests |
|
| They’ll analyze their findings to get an idea of how each sample may have been formed. Then, read more about the different types of rock formations in this complete science lesson.
This project + science lesson teaches your students about the rock cycle and mineral properties but also sparks curiosity around the Earth's dynamic processes.
Don’t forget to snap photos of your rock-testing adventures and share them with us on Instagram @homesciencetools – we'd love to feature your young geologist's discoveries! |
