Today we dug into chapter one and started learning about minerals. We talked about four questions we use to determine if something is a mineral and then we talked about the major classes of minerals (silicates and non-silicates). We also discussed how minerals and chemistry were related.
We then used magnifying glasses to look at several different items, and we determined if they were mineral in nature.
We went over the mineral composition of the earth's crust, and then talked about carbonates, sulfates, native elements, sulfides and halides.
