- Sample opportunities to support student inquiry:
- Classify minerals by observing and testing physical and chemical properties (e.g., colour, crystal form, cleavage, fracture, specific gravity, acid reaction, magnetism, hardness).
- Create molds and casts of local plants and animal artifacts.
- Collect data to establish where most earthquakes tend to occur.
- Assess the risks associated with geological field work.
- How is a geological compass used to record accurate and precise strike-and-dip data?
- What evidence is needed to measure and determine slope stability?
- Explore local coastlines, parks, watersheds, lakes, and other areas to collect evidence of weathering and erosion.
