This PowerPoint is just one very small part of my Geology Topics Unit that I offer on TpT. This unit includes… A six part 3,700 Slide PowerPoint Presentation / unit roadmap full of activities, review questions, games, video links, flashcards, materials list, and much more. A 18 bundled homework package, modified version, 19 pages of unit notes, 6 PowerPoint Review Games of 100+ slides each, videos, rubrics, and much more that all chronologically follow the unit slideshow.

Rocks can be big. How large is this rock?

Rocks can be little

Used in buildings.

Rocks are inorganic (non-living)

Minerals form from… Cooling Magma

Activity! Making Crystals!

Activity! Growing Crystals Demonstration.

Add salt to boiling hot water until no more will dissolve. Soak a piece of cardboard in the salt solution, then set it in a sunny, dry spot to dry. The next day, using a stereoscope, draw the crystals that you see. Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy

Other crystal making experiments.

Video Link! Growing Crystals
The crystal solution was made by mixing 3 tablespoons ammonia, 3 tablespoons of Mrs. Stewart's laundry bluing (Prussian Blue), and 1 tablespoon of salt. The solution wicks up a cardboard tube that is cut to form branches (tree), allowing the crystals to grow on the surface. (several days) Learn more / demonstration at…

A crystal is a solid in which the atoms are arranged in a repeating pattern.

Activity! Create a human crystal.
Teacher assigns students one at a time to create some form of atomic structure by laying on the floor and using your arms and legs to form atomic bonds in a crystal.

Keep humming As we look at crystals

Do crystals have magic powers?

NO! So stop humming Do crystals have magic powers?

Gems: Rare highly prized minerals.

Activity! How many gemstones can the class name?

Do you know your birthstone? Write it down.

If you don’t you have 20 sec. to record it.

Valuables do have their downside

Activity! Cut the Cheese

Activity! Make the six crystal types out of cheese squares.
Use the plastic knives to cut the cheese into the correct crystal. (eye goggles required) Place your cheese crystal onto a plate and label them correctly. At the end, be prepared to switch with your neighbors and try to identify the various crystals types made from cheese.
