8th Grade Earth Science News by Matt
Nicholas, E-M Science Instructor
This week
in 8th Grade Earth Science, Students were given a very important task. They
were given a bag of minerals and asked to identify them. The task of
identifying mineral is a very tedious process. The students had to use patience
and teamwork to accomplish their goal. They also had to use their knowledge of mineral
properties to solve the puzzle. Their skills were put to the test as they
measured the hardness of their unknown minerals. They were also challenged to
identify several other properties such as: streak, luster, fracture, and
cleavage. The students were able to use print and internet resources to analyze
their data and come up with their final answers.
