On May 14th the eighth grade science class went on a trip to the Museum of natural History to study the exhibits on display of minerals and rocks. During the trip, the students had lots of fun exploring and learning new things. They were able to interact with the exhibits that they saw.
The students spoke with a lady who displayed a collection (demonstration of rocks) and explained what they were made of, what they could be made into and how they felt. Did you know that toothpaste contains fluoride? The students also saw gold in the form it has before humans shape it into necklaces, bracelets and other things we use gold for today. We also were able to see precious gems such as sapphires, rubies and diamonds in their original forms (when they are still in contact with the earth; we even got to see fool’s gold!)
