We had a great trip to the quarry today! Mr. Buffington gave us a tour and explained the workings of this limestone mining operation within a mile of our school. We were pleasantly surprised to see great minerals mixed into this common sedimentary rock! I was so proud to see the students make accurate identifications that would have been impossible for them 3 weeks ago :). Our favorite find was "fool's gold", a.k.a. pyrite. I now have a great collection in my room for us to use in a future project. Here are some kodak moments...
