4th Grade
Fourth grade examines and tests mineral specimens in their unit called Solid Earth. We use specific properties to identify minerals. These properties include color, texture, hardness streak and luster. Pictures from our mock rock investigation can be seen below.
To the left is a sample of flourite.
Now would be a great time to take your 4th grader (and the whole family) to the world class Gem and Mineral exhibit at the Los Angeles Museum of Natual History. Check out their website for more information, www.nhm.org.
