Collect and Identify Minerals and Rocks Exposed in Local Area
 Introduction:
Is this a diamond that you found? or just a piece of glass? On a hiking trail, at the beach or in a river you can find hundreds of colorful stones or minerals and some can be really valuable. Can you identify them?
 
Material and instructions:
Learn how to find, collect and identify minerals and rocks exposed in your local area. You may have a valuable collection of what you have found in a few years. For the purpose of this project you will also need to explain how you identify each mineral and compare their properties and record them in tables.
