{"product_id":"minerals-3-d-model-kit","title":"Minerals 3-D Model Kit","description":"A hands-on lesson on how to classify minerals and how minerals combine to form rocks!\u003cbr\u003eModels are powerful tools for teaching science because they provide useful simplifications of structures and processes, helping to make the unseen seen and the complex simple.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRocks are made of minerals in different combinations and proportions. Minerals are classified into groups such as silicates and non-silicates. Show examples of these minerals to your students with our interactive model.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFirst students make their model minerals using the colorful parts with real mineral images. Then they use them to look at 32 different types of minerals and how they are classified. The model can be used for introductory or more advanced classes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe model covers light silicates (feldspars, quartz, muscovite \u0026amp; clay minerals), dark silicates (pyroxenes, amphiboles, olivine, biotite \u0026amp; garnet), non-silicates (carbonates, halides, oxides, sulphides, sulphates \u0026amp; phosphates), native elements (gold, graphite, diamond, copper \u0026amp; sulphur) and Mohs scale of hardness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Model Making Kit includes enough materials for students to assemble up to 5 paper models working cooperatively. The comprehensive Teacher Resource Guide included provides illustrated readings, activities, key vocabulary and an assessment, along with teaching opportunities for students to Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend and Evaluate their understanding of the concepts presented.","brand":"New Path Learning","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49950668685589,"sku":"NPL247812","price":57.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0857\/4897\/3845\/files\/24-7812.pt01.jpg?v=1780549202","url":"https:\/\/unitedsupplycorp.com\/products\/minerals-3-d-model-kit","provider":"United Supply Corp.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
