Class Rock Pack

Based around a laminated flow chart, the class rock pack takes students through the principle tests for identifying rocks including: separating rocks and soils on the basis of grain size, textures, structures, colour, mouldability, calcite and silicon content. 5 samples of each rock (or minimum of 200 grams of rock fragments) are supplied in sturdy plastic tubs contained in a cardboard box with full teachers notes. Rocks included in the pack: shelley limestone, sandstone, slate, granite porphyry, basalt, granite, oolitic limestone, gabbro, marble.
1 tub of clay soil and 1 tub of sandy soil.
