Jewels and Minerals
Studying minerals using a microscope
Keystone Montessori School has been filled with minerals, crystals, and jewels. In one of our Children’s House classrooms, children enjoyed a presentation about minerals and gems.
Our elementary students enjoy looking at minerals using their microscope. They had a special presentation by a parent, who is a geologist. He talked about color, shape, hardness, streak, cleavage, and luster. Using these attributes, students can identify and classify minerals.
