Intro

Hi there, curious minds! I'm Crafty Clover! Let's discover something amazing. How do you label and keep a rock collection?

The Big Idea

You've found some great rocks! Now how do you keep them organized? Like a museum!

Numbers

Step one: Numbers. Give every specimen a number and write it on a small sticker or tag. In a notebook, record the date, where you found it, and what it looks like.

Location

Step two: Location. The place where a rock was found is the most important clue. It helps you and scientists understand it.

Storage

Step three: Storage. Store samples in egg cartons or small boxes with soft paper, and take pictures. A well-labeled collection can be used to learn and share science.

A Closer Look

Let's take a closer look! Number each rock. Write the place. Write the date. Take a picture.

Quick Facts

Quick facts! Museums use the same system on a much bigger scale. Location is key. Egg cartons work great. Take lots of photos.

Think Like a Scientist

Now, think like a scientist! Pick five household objects. Give each a number. Write its name. Write where and when you found it. You've made a museum label!
