  1. Meet the Geology Detective

    Posted by Melanie Young - www.RaisingRealMen.com on 12th May 2011

    I remember trying to do rock identification with the boys years ago and thinking “White streak plate? What is that? Oh, I can use a piece of a ceramic tile. Well where do I get that?”
    Well, the Geology Detective includes it! These kits contain everything you need. Seriously, even the penny! What a stress-reducer that is.

    The other great thing about these kits is that there is no wondering if you got it right! Each rock or mineral comes in its own little bag with a label. Whew! I always remove the label from the one we’re testing so I don’t ruin the surprise for the children, but it helps me enormously to know what the expected results should be. That way, if we don’t get the expected results we can figure out what went wrong rather than fumble around in ignorance.

    Their charts are so understandable!

    Those things make using the Geology Detective kits something you don’t have to dread. We greatly enjoyed using ours, and I came out of it completely untraumatized!
