An economy collection of 6 commonly known igneous rocks. Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling of molten rock, either magma or lava. Each generous specimen is 1 1/4" to 1 1/5" and is contained in a resealable zip lock bag with a label. Grades 5-12. Ages 10-18.
36" x 24" full color laminated poster.
This is an outstanding rock identification chart! The introduction explains that each type of rock is the result of a specific mixture of minerals subjected to a clearly defined geological process. It shows and describes the most common rock-forming minerals and variations that occur within rock types.
The bulk of the poster is divided into three sections, one for each rock type: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. An illustration shows how they are made, and a photograph shows a natural formation. A dozen other photographs show representative specimens. Each is accompanied by an informative caption citing identifying characteristics and common variations.
A bonus section shows and explains some of the more specialized and popular rock forms, such as geodes, concretions, agates, and meteorites.
This is a great poster for earth science classes. Rock collectors find it invaluable for quick reference.

This chart has illustrations and actual specimens for students to consult as they identify unlabeled rock specimens. For grades 6-12. 23 1/2" x 15 1/5".
In this step-by-step classroom project students examine and identify individual rock specimens. As each rock specimen is examined and identified, students progress toward the completion of their own rock reference charts. The Teacher's reference chart uses illustrations and actual specimens for students to consult as they identify unlabeled rock specimens. For grades 6-12.
