SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS/PROCESSES

  • Introduce crystal forms of minerals
  • Build four basic crystal models
  • Relate models to minerals that take these forms
  • Study number and shape of crystal faces

Here’s an inexpensive introduction to crystal forms of minerals, a basic geology unit in earth science. The kit emphasizes four basic crystal systems. Students build cubic, tetragonal, orthorhombic and hexagonal crystal models and relate them to some minerals that take these forms (such as zircon and corundum). They also study the number and shape of crystal faces. The Instruction Manual has full background information, hints and answers. Students can build a total of 60 models (15 of each crystal model) with this kit.
