We've been learning about minerals in Earth Science.
Yesterday, we learned about identifying minerals with the various tests that scientists use. For us, testing involved a hammer, a small pillow case and a handful of rock samples purchased in a kit for just this section of the book. Everyone was disappointed that mom refused to share the hammer.

Today's lesson was about Native Minerals and the way they are harvested~specifically mining.
(from MiddleEarth~ha! Yes, we did tie a small conversation about The Hobbit into our lesson...Snow White and her Dwarves too)
Our project was to 'harvest' chocolate chips and then clean up the environment behind our efforts.
(ie; lick the plate)
