Grades 2-4
To help solve a mystery, budding geologists will use several tests and a dichotomous key to examine, identify, and categorize rocks. Observation, classification, investigation, inference, and communication are reinforced during this lab.
New to dichotomous keys? Consider reserving the Mineral Miner kit for your classroom before diving into this lab.
