Experience a dazzling world of scientific wonder during this fun and educational virtual geological journey, exploring of the world of Rocks & Minerals, complete with real, massive museum quality specimens as the backdrop! Plus each student takes home REAL gems and minerals (shipped for distribution if virtual) so we’ve maintained a tactile element! Students will learn while viewing way cool, REAL mineral specimens up close, during a fun, interactive and dynamic show about the uses of Rocks & Minerals as critical resources in our every day lives, how Gemstones form, the volcanic origin of cool crystal-filled geodes (with a visual demo of splitting a REAL geode).
