Question

how to explain minerals to students​

Answer 1

Explanation:

students use a model to discover what is inside a "rock cookie" that I made from a few different "minerals" (ingredients). I thought about having the students create their own cookie, but I decided that for them to act as a geologist it made more sense for me to make different cookies ahead of time and for them to use 'tools' (toothpicks, popsicle sticks) to record what is in their "rock". Using a model for this activity supports Science and Engineering Practice 2, as students distinguish between a model and the real object.
