You will be able to identify minerals by their colors and streaks, and be able to tell a sample of real gold from the fake look-alike called pyrite.

  1. You can go in any order you like! The first test geologists usually do is look at the rock and record the color of it. Is that the other reference you are referring to? There isn’t a video for looking at the color, but there is information describing how to do this in the text area right under the video.

    There’s also an experiment that walks you through how to test different rocks using all the different tests we cover, which you can find here:https://www.sciencelearningspace2.com/2013/09/geology-field-trip/

    At the end of the video, we start to talk about hardness, which is the next video in the series:

    Let me know if you need anything else!

    In what order should these lessons be taught? We were going to start with Color Streak but you reference another video during the Color Streak video.

    I have attempted to find the shopping list that goes along with Unit 20 (I read another comment first) and I cannot find it. Can you please link the shopping list to find the rock samples for this lesson as well as other lessons for Earth Science Grade 2? Thanks

  4. I’ll have my team connect with you right away!

    We would really like to do the geology unit. Can we get access to that?
    Thank you.

  6. Look in the shopping list for this unit – use the link on the right when you’re in the main level for unit 20. You’ll find links to online ordering stores.

    Where can I obtain rock samples for this experiment?

    We are doing the trial and my daughter really wants to do the Earth Science section. Can we have access to that?

    Hello Aurora.
    I’m using your program in combination with a science book and we are currently on the rocks and minerals unit. May I please have access to that unit?
    Thank you so much.

  18. Sure thing Nora! I’ll have my team connect with you right away!

    I am preparing my lesson outline for next year. Could I please have access to the Earth Science and Human Anatomy/Physiology sections? I must complete by Thursday, Jan. 31 and just found your site and joined with the monthly subscriptions.

    Thank you.

    I am really excited about having this organized by grade level. I am homeschooling my ten kids and it was pretty difficult to have them try to do the same experiments at the same time. Often the concepts were too simplified or too complex for everyone. We are doing a science focus in Jan. I hope everything is up and running by then!

  21. I’ll have my team contact you right away to get you set up with what you need in terms of access. Since the grade level organization is new, we’re still working out the kinks in getting folks access to the parts they need.

    Not every experiment has a worksheet download with it, but there are some that have not yet been uploaded (we’re still getting them posted to the website, and there’s a lot of them to do!) Most of the experiments will have a worksheet when we’re done publishing them to the website, but you may still find a few that don’t. 🙂

    Thanks for your patience.

    I just signed up for this website. I can access the topics but not the experiments at my son’s grade level. He is in 4th grade and for example I can access the energy topic but when I try to access experiments for 4th grade energy studies I have no access. How long do I have to wait until I get access to everything? Also I noticed there doesn’t seem to be a download lesson or student experiment worksheet with the topics by grade level.
