摘要

摘要空间思维在地球科学教育中是一个持续的挑战，但具体的操作方法可以通过说明抽象概念来弥合这一差距。在一次本科光学矿物学实验中，我们使用了TotBlocks来说明晶体结构如何影响解理和多色性等性质。更抽象的属性，例如消光角，越来越难以用这个工具来说明。

GC Insights: The crystal structures behind mineral properties – a case study of using TotBlocks in an undergraduate optical mineralogy lab

Abstract. Spatial thinking represents an ongoing challenge in geoscience education, but concrete manipulatives can bridge this gap by illustrating abstract concepts. In an undergraduate optical mineralogy lab session, TotBlocks were used to illustrate how crystal structures influence properties such as cleavage and pleochroism. More abstracted properties, e.g., extinction angles, were increasingly difficult to illustrate using this tool.
