Mineral Crystal Shapes for Earth science and geology provides a hands-on opportunity to explore and distinguish the main types of crystal formations. Construct and compare paper models.
Give your students a hands-on opportunity to explore and distinguish the main types of crystal formations. In this exclusive kit, paper models of cubic, tetragonal, orthorhombic, hexagonal, monoclinic and triclinic crystal shapes will be constructed and compared to specifically selected mineral samples. Kit includes two sets of six different actual mineral samples, crystal shape master sheets and a handout with detailed background and instructions.
