Use of the product
This rock collection is an ideal tool for teaching subjects such as geography and science/technology. The collection illustrates the processes behind the formation of metamorphic rocks and discusses geological cycles. For example, students can examine the differences between shale and gneiss and relate these to the environmental conditions that lead to metamorphism.
The collection can also be used in more advanced courses at the high school level, where students can perform analyses of mineral content, density and texture. This can be linked to topics such as plate tectonics and mountain range folding.
