Rock Museum Day!

We concluded our Rocks and Minerals unit with Museum Day! We invited the students to bring in their personal collections of rocks and minerals. It was great! We had a special guest in attendance! The  President of the West Suburban Lapidary Club! Ms. Karen Dave brought in some amazing specimens of her own to look at!

We touched a petrified dinosaur bone, petrified wood, a large piece of Tiger Eye, and a hunk of copper! 

Petrified dinosaur bone! See the marrow in the middle?
Ms. Dave was an amazing resource to have for our Museum Day! She was able to identify some of our unknown rocks and minerals!










We had so much fun looking at many different types of rocks and minerals. Thanks to everyone who participated and a big thanks to Ms. Karen Dave!
