This week we have been looking at minerals and how to identifying them. We learned six specific tests to identify them. On Thursday, we will be doing a lab to further understand how to use these six steps. We will also begin our crystal growing lab on Thursday. This week we also learned about ore and the criteria for making a mineral profitable and worth mining. Next week is a short week and we will be reviewing on Thursday and our next test will be Monday, Oct. 16.
