Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 5
In this one time class, kids will learn about the chemical elements that make up birthstone minerals.  The kids and I will be able to interact as we  discuss the field of geochemistry and the origins of birthstones.  I will share my screen so that the kids can see photos of the birthstone minerals and their chemical formulas,  what minerals are, what are crystal structures. The kids and I will draw molecule  models of birthstone minerals, and they  will follow my instructions as we  make a solution that will grow our imitation birthstones.
They  will be able to interact with the other students and me during our class time by asking questions and sharing any knowledge they have of our class topics.
******The supply list can be found in the learner supply list and as a pdf in the classroom.*****

Learning Goals

The kids will learn about birthstone minerals and their chemical composition.
