Metamorphic Rock Kit - Small

Metamorphic rocks form through heat and pressure deep within the Earth's crust. This 12-piece Metamorphic Rock Kit provides students with hands-on learning about rock transformation processes, showcasing different textures and mineral compositions.

Educational Benefits:

• Demonstrates how heat and pressure cause rock metamorphism.
• Helps students identify foliated vs. non-foliated rocks.
• Encourages analysis of mineral composition and texture changes.

Classroom Integration Ideas:

• Create a before-and-after comparison of sedimentary rocks vs. metamorphic versions.
• Use magnifying glasses to observe crystal growth and layering.
• Discuss how metamorphic rocks form in mountain-building processes.

Features:

• Includes 12 metamorphic rock samples, each approximately 3cm::
