Process
You have been put in charge of a very important project to help reassemble the museum's newest rocks and minerals exhibit. After you have recruited your team of fellow Rockhounds, you will all need to work hard and collaboratively in order to get the exhibit properly organized and displayed in time for the highly anticipated grand opening. If you are successful, you will save the Bedrock museum from the embarassment of having to cancel their celebration.
Remember to take careful notes in your Research Tables as you complete your research and apply your expertise toward developing a new way to classify and organize the rock and mineral samples. Your notes will also help Dr. Bumblestone regain his memory and restore his prestigious reputation as an expert in the field of Geology. Good luck to you and your team!
