Introduction

At some point, you're going to pick up a rock (but not at school, of course).
You're going to roll it over in your hand and notice its contours, its shine, and its sparkle.
In fact, you're going to do that in this Deeper Learning Project.


Do you know the difference between a rock and a mineral?
Our observations in the next few days will reveal everything you never knew about them.

  • How will you get there?
  • Why is it important?
