the Difference, What's the Use? (Rocks and Minerals) |
The labs are divided by science discipline. They were written
for use with a whole class of up to 28 students at a time. Each was originally
written for a particular grade level, as noted each document. However, each
could be modified for another grade level by changing the format, the directions
or the complexity. Each lab meets the NCSCOS competency goals that are listed
at the top of the lab. Email Erin Denniston for clarification or additional
labs. Free use of these labs is allowed for individual teachers and schools.
