GemKit™ makes it easy for educators to teach important earth science concepts to
students in grades 4 - 6.
Designed with teachers in mind, GemKit is a suite of resources that will take your classroom from start to finish with four earth science unit plans.
Your students will follow Gemma, a magical Dalmatian, on a museum adventure, where they will learn the key concepts of each unit plan.
Each unit plan includes expert-designed activities that bring the topics to life through science experiments, engaging discussion questions, creative art projects, and more.
This unit introduces students to earth sciences and covers topics such as layers of the earth and plate tectonics.
This unit teaches students about the rock cycle, including the three types of rocks and how they form and change over time.
This unit teaches students about the study of minerals, mineral characteristics, and mining.
This unit explores the world of gemstones, including birthstones, jewelry history, and how gems differ from minerals.
GemKit is aligned with Next Generation Science Standards, vetted by teachers, and created by GIA, a renowned institution for gemology education.
All the educational videos and materials are available online. You can access them whenever and wherever it's convenient for you.
This completely free resource is just one part of the GemKids mission to spark curiosity, foster a love of learning, and inspire the next generation of jewelers and gemologists.
