GEO-Boxes

About Geo-Boxes

Geo-Boxes have been created to allow students to have hands-on experiences with rocks, minerals, gems, and fossils to further their understanding and excitement in studying the Earth and all its processes. Various Geo-Boxes are targeted to specific Utah SEEd standards and concepts. Each box has a teacher's guide (also able to be downloaded from each box's page, *see links below*) which gives an overview of the box and subject, which standards are being taught, and ideas as to how the Geo-Box can be used in lessons. Specific lessons can also be downloaded at the links below.
