Fool's Gold Mini Dig Kit
The National Geographic Fool's Gold Dig Kit lets students excavate genuine pyrite, the mineral known as Fool's Gold, from dig bricks shaped like gold bars. Each brick is individually wrapped and comes with its own digging tools, so the kit can be shared among several students. As they dig, learners practise careful excavation and then identify the rock specimens they uncover. The full-color learning guide explains what pyrite is, why it is called Fool's Gold, how gold is used and how gold exploration has developed through history, including the Gold Rush. Because the bricks are individually packed, the kit is well suited to group work in the classroom, earth science lessons on minerals, or as a hands-on activity for science clubs and events.
