The CC Rock & Mineral Pack includes all materials needed to supply one Foundations/Essentials class using the Classical Conversations Cycle 1 curriculum. Pair this pack with the CC Lesson Plans for Weeks 21–23 to fully prepare for the rock and mineral science activities scheduled during those weeks.
This pack supports hands-on science, classroom-ready experiments, and clear material organization for tutors and directors.
Each set contains:
Deluxe Mineral Kit
Introductory Rock Kit
Two Geology Testing Kits
All rock and mineral specimens are pre-numbered and keyed to detailed information sheets, making identification and instruction straightforward. When paired with the downloadable lesson plans for Weeks 21–23, this pack provides a complete and engaging geology experience.
Purchasing Guidance
We recommend purchasing one Base Kit for each class starting science simultaneously, then adding Class Packs for additional classes that follow afterward.
Number of classes starting the day = number of Base Kits
Number of additional classes = number of Class Packs
Examples: A community with 24 students where one class begins science first and two follow later will need one Base Kit and two Class Packs. A community with 48 students where two classes begin science simultaneously and four follow later will need two Base Kits and four Class Packs.
ATTENTION CC DIRECTORS! Get 10% OFF the rock & mineral supplies you need for Cycle 1 with this expert-created and community-tested geology pack.

“The quality is amazing. The lesson suggestions are fun, easy, and doable with my little abecedarians, while still being challenging enough for the masters class. You will not be disappointed.” — Tonya
“I am so impressed with the quality, presentation, and insight that make this kit a must for our community. I will be highly recommending it to other directors in our area.” — Danielle
