Geology+Club

The __ **Geology Club** __ had its first meeting today,Thursday 7 March. Tayin brought in some quartz crystals and talked to us about crystals and rocks. He had got some shampoo and he poured the shampoo on to the piece of calcite. That will take all the dirt off in just one week or two. Tayin gave each of us a quartz crystal from Whangarei Heads. It was fun. Alysa, Jason and Saraya

Tayin's Geology Club is the best, as always. I think it is really interesting learning about rocks and minerals. I am so fascinated. Today everybody who was in the geology club got some quartz embedded in rocks - so awesome! By Saraya

Friday 19 April 2013 to Term 2 This few weeks I would like you to search what a braciopod, ammonite, monotis, trilobite, orthoceras, is and write a a paragraph of something about each that tells us when they were around; are they a vertabrate and where they are found. They need to be full sentence answers with one picture of these creatures beside each paragraph, during the holidays. Bring it to geology club and you will win a Monotis fossil!!!

Here are some websites that might help... This Term we will start the competition table so prizes can be won! This term our topic will be Gondwanaland. I will be offering jasper and calcite to the people who are patient and helpful at geology club. Tayin
