The Rock Cycle and Our World What are rocks? How are they formed? Where do they come from? Students will examine the three rock types: sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous in an attempt to understand the similarities and differences in each. We will also look at differences between rocks and minerals while we learn about some important uses for minerals found in rocks. Grade 3 |

From Geodes to Gems In this hands-on program your students will be guided through a multi-disciplinary exploration of minerals. Specific areas of focus include streak, lustre, texture, hardness, crystal shapes, as well as current and historical uses of minerals. An informative Teacher's Guide with pre and post-visit materials, art, language learning, math activities and much more is available for $5.00 which can be ordered at the time of booking. The following pre-visit activities will provide students with an introduction to mineralogy and to Glenbow. We recommend that you conduct as many of these activities as possible before your Glenbow program.
