7th Graders have been working on their World Countries Project! 🌍
Mrs. Dupre’s seventh graders competed in a mystery rock lab. The students collected data on the color, streak, hardness, ability to break, luster and other characteristics to identify 18 unknown rock or mineral samples. They then had to take their data and compare it, to discover the names of those samples. These students identified the most samples collected and were rewarded for being the top geologists in their class.
