Does your learner love rocks and minerals? How about collecting rocks and minerals? Come join me as we learn about how to collect them safely, including, what gear to bring, how to label found rocks and minerals and store them for years of enjoyment. When I was 8 years old, my uncle Paul took me on a rockhounding adventure I've never forgotten. We went to a special location in Ellenville, NY, where we climbed a mountainside looking for quartz crystals. It was quite the treasure hunt for me as I sifted carefully through the gravel looking for the quartz crystals sparkling in the sunlight. We found some decent sized crystals, some as large as an adult thumbnail, but many as small as the tips of my fingers. Finding these clear quartz crystals inspired me to study and look for rocks and minerals for a lifetime! What's Included: 1). One 30-minute live online class session with Gloria Brooks aka NatureGlo 2). One Slideshow lesson 3). Accompanying learner fillable study guide to be download typed into or printed out and written in or set aside as review after class. Basic Class structure: Class begins with a Slideshow presentation with learner interaction throughout the lesson followed by Q & A about the topic.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Maryland Bible College and Seminary
I offer math enrichment (MathArt) and natural science online classes that address other subjects (also known by unit studies, thematic units, integrated learning, and cross-curricular). What is MathArt? MathArt is a thematic educational journey with a math and history backbone. I teach how math relates to the real world around us. MathArt shows the rich and beautiful connections there are between math, science, history, culture, literature, music, and the natural world. Currently, I offer marine biology and reptile, and amphibian (herpetology or herps for short) thematic unit online studies.
I've held a BA in K - 12 education since 1996. I hold two certificates of completion from the Wilderness Awareness School Kamana program. I have been teaching online classes since 2011.
I've been a full-time RVer with since 2013. I use some of the nature photography from my travels in my picturesque PowerPoint presentations. I desire to RV and backpack Europe someday.Reviews
