A naturally occurring solid, made up of elements What is a Mineral? A naturally occurring solid, made up of elements (A naturally occurring solid, made up of elements)

What is the difference between an element and a mineral? WOULD THE PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF MINERALS BE DIFFERENT THAN THE PHYSICAL PROPERTIES WE USED TO STUDY THE ELEMENTS? Answers may vary, but may include versions of the following: (Minerals are made of elements.) One example would be diamonds are made of carbon. Answers may vary. Some students may not know or think that all properties fit all substances.(The correct response would be that since the substances are different, the properties may be different.)

Physical Properties of Minerals Each person will be assigned a paragraph to read in their group. Read & Write Down the most important information on the handout. With your tablemates create a T-Chart to list all important information for each topic. 10 mins Physical Property Important Detail Color Some minerals have one color (Gold) Other’s have many colors (Calcite)

Answer the following questions on pg. 11 in Science Notebook Answer the following questions on pg. 11 in Science Notebook? Write the questions. 1. What are the properties that were listed on the PowerPoint? 2. What properties were listed in the handout and your graphic organizer? 3. Are these properties enough to identify a mineral? (Color, luster, hardness, streak, cleavage, and fracture) (The same: color, luster, hardness, streak, cleavage, and fracture) ? It depends on the mineral. The more properties that are used, the more exact the identification.
