KAMENCHECK

Introduction

• KamenCheck is an interactive educational application designed to assist learners, hobbyists, and geology enthusiasts in identifying common Slovenian rocks.

• By using a structured determination key, users can systematically narrow down rock types through observation and guided questions.

• Its aim is to make geological knowledge more accessible both in formal classrooms and informal learning environments.

Main Content Areas

The application is structured into three core components, each serving a specific purpose in the learning process:

1. Stone Key

• A practical identification tool where users observe rock samples and answer a sequence of YES/NO questions.

• These questions are based on visible characteristics such as color, texture, layering, and hardness.

• Each response guides the user toward the most likely rock type, with clear progression through the decision tree.

2. Encyclopedia

• A comprehensive reference section offering in-depth descriptions of each rock type.

• Entries include photographs, classification details, geological formation processes, and common uses.

• This section links directly with results obtained in the Stone Key, allowing deeper understanding after identification.

3. Little School (Mala Šola)

• Provides explanations of geological terms, methods, and procedures.

• Accessible through orange-colored links when specific terminology appears in the Stone Key.

• Designed to build foundational geological knowledge, making identification easier for beginners.

Project Background

• Developed under the student project StoneKey – Key for determining rocks as a learning aid in formal and non-formal education.

• Part of the public call “After the Creative Path to Knowledge 2017–2020”.

• Financial support provided by:

+ Public Scholarship, Development, Disability and Maintenance Fund of the Republic of Slovenia.

+ Ministry of Education, Science and Sport.

+ The European Union through the European Social Fund.

Purpose and Benefits

• Encourages active, hands-on learning in geology.

• Bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world observation.

• Serves as a useful tool for teachers, students, amateur geologists, and nature lovers.

• Promotes awareness of Slovenia’s geological diversity and heritage.

FAQ

Q: Who can benefit from using KamenCheck?

A: The app is useful for anyone interested in geology. It’s a great resource for teachers introducing rock identification in a classroom, for students who want to learn more about geological processes, for amateur geologists exploring Slovenia’s landscapes, and for nature lovers who enjoy discovering more about what they find outdoors.

Q: How does the Stone Key work?

A: The Stone Key acts like a decision tree. You look closely at a rock sample, answer a series of YES or NO questions about characteristics such as color, texture, layering, and hardness, and the app guides you step-by-step toward the most likely rock type. It’s designed to be intuitive even for users who are not experts.

Q: Can I use KamenCheck without any prior geology knowledge?

A: Absolutely. The app was created with beginners in mind. Through the “Little School” feature, you can quickly learn what geological terms mean as they appear. This way, even if you’re unfamiliar with certain words, you won’t get stuck—you can simply click an orange link to read a helpful explanation.
