I have been asked, by the Sierra Middle School here in Roswell NM to help two students participate in a "Science Olympiad" competition. Today we had our second prep session. It involved the students identifying an assortment of minerals fossils and crystals I laid out on the table.
Here is a complete assortment of Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic Rocks. How many can you identify? :-0
Joseph and Enrique peruse the collection prior to starting.
I randomly selected rocks for them to identify. We've got a little work to do.
The teacher, Kathleen tries her hand at identifying one.
Group photo with the teacher.
Kathleen insisted on one with me and the boys.
All together now! We have one other participant, Kathleen's daughter. She wasn't doing the photo thing.
The Competition is on January 27th. Not a lot of time to prepare, so keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
