On the lab practical, you can expect to identify rocks just as you did during lab. It is strongly recommended that once you have completed a given week's lab activity, that you spend additional time in lab reviewing the previous week's materials. Failure to spend this additional time reviewing and studying the rocks and minerals will greatly increase your chances of failing the first two Lab Practicals. The only materials that you will need to bring are your lab manual, and writing utensils. Errors will be made and are easier to correct in pencil than in pen.
Colored pencils are often useful.
The textbook should be brought to lab as well. A calculator is recommended and necessary for the completion of some lab assignments. All other materials will be provided. This material may only be checked for use in the library. Additional lab activities can be found online at the Lab Material link.
