Mineral Notes.... This is to replace the notes you would have taken in
class. Read through the material on the page to which I've linked, and take notes about the following mineral properties: Luster (Each type) Hardness (including Moh's Scale of Relative Hardness) Streak Cleavage (Each type) Specific Gravity Habit Tenacity (Each type) Color Luminescence (and the other properties) Radioactivity Magnetism Please note this is not an all inclusive list of mineral properties, but it does cover a lot. Do NOT print these out for your notebooks - I want handwritten notes only. Your notebooks will be turned in Thursday to be included in the 9 weeks grading period. Make sure you use your time wisely - I will have no sympathy for those who waste time and chit-chat with other students instead of taking notes. I WILL be watching and taking down names.... And I intend to take this page down after school, so get busy! Don't try to copy everything word for word, get the major points of each property, and be able to define each property and how to use it in identifying a mineral. If you finish with taking notes, you may want to try the other part of the exercise on the same page as the notes. Make sure you understand these properties - you will be using them in lab on Thursday and Friday. To go to the page from which you will take notes, click HERE. |
