Here are some writing prompts to help students reflect on the mini-lesson. Feel free to copy and paste them into an assignment.

1. How is gold made?
2. What did this lesson make you curious about? What other questions do you have about gold?

Bonus Activity: Gold is worth a lot because there is so little of it in the world – it’s rare. Objects that are rare are special. Ask an adult to go on a nature walk with you and look for something that’s rare. Maybe it’s a type of flower you’ve never seen before. Or a leaf with an interesting pattern. Choose one rare object and make a detailed drawing of it.
