Minerals 3-D Model Making Kit

The Minerals 3-D Model Making Kit is an interactive educational tool designed for grades 6 to 10 that helps students explore and classify different types of minerals. The kit includes materials to assemble up to five colorful paper models representing 32 minerals, covering mineral groups like silicates (light and dark), non-silicates, native elements, and the Mohs scale of hardness. It comes packaged in a vinyl pouch and includes a comprehensive Teacher Resource Guide with illustrated readings, activities, vocabulary, and assessments to support hands-on learning.

This kit provides an engaging, hands-on way for students to visualize mineral structures and understand their classification through cooperative model building. It fosters deeper comprehension by allowing learners to interact with real mineral images and physical models, enhancing retention and scientific inquiry. Suitable for introductory or advanced classes, it creates opportunities for students to engage, explore, and explain key mineral concepts actively.
