So how does Minecraft measure up to the real world of Rocks and Minerals? It’s time we found out! Our special guest this month is Senior Curator and Teck Endowed Chair of Mineralogy, Dr. Kim Tait, who knows everything there is to know about the rocks at ROM!
Together, we’ll explore the variety and diversity of rocks in Minecraft, use some chemistry tricks to break them down to their basic elements, and see just how well Minecraft measures up to real rock specimens that reside at ROM. Then, we’ll share some tips to help students build their own museums to show off just how much they know about rocks and minerals.
