SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS/PROCESSES

  • Construct models of basic shapes
  • Measure lengths and angles
  • Observe the geometric shape of facets
  • Study symmetry and repetition of forms
  • Derive definition from measurements

With this interesting and fun kit, students use transparent pre-cut shapes to construct models of the six basic crystal shapes. They insert axes at established center points on each crystal face. Using the goniometers, which are provided, students measure the length of the axes and the angles formed. They observe the geometric shape of all facets (squares, rectangles, and triangles) and record the data about each crystal form. By rotating the model on a central axis, students study the symmetry and repetition of forms.

They derive their own definitions of each crystal form using the measurements and observations recorded in their data charts. This is also an excellent math-science activity!
