Mohs Scale of Hardness-Estimate the hardness of 3 minerals based on the results of testing with a penny and nail.  \n3. Mass & Density-Compare the mass and density ofvarious mineral samples using a scale and water displacement.  \n4. Chemical Composition-Identify the elements in common minerals and test samples for effervescence to show presence of carbonates  \n5. Crystals, Cleavage, and Fracture-Compare the way different mineral samples break and their crystal structure/shape.  \n6.Special Properties-Test samples for magnetism, fluorescence, refraction, opacity, etc.  \nMaterials Needed:  \n􀀻 Copies of Student Note worksheets (half page) & Activity worksheet (2 pages)  \n􀀻 Copies of the Station Signs  \n􀀻 Mineral ID Kits for each station as listed below:  \n1-Color vs. Streak-8 mineral samples with different colors/streaks, streak plates, paper towels, magnifying glasses  \n2. Mohs Scale of Hardness-8 mineral samples with different hardness rating, glass plate, nail, penny, Mohs Scale  \n3. Mass & Density-4 samples ranging from low (talc) to high density (galena), graduated cylinder, electronic scale, displacement can, calculator  \n4. Chemical Composition-Samples (need at least one from each group of minerals), periodic table, labels for each sample (chemical formula) provided on the bottom of the station sign  \n5. Crystals, Cleavage, and Fracture-7 samples (staple bags), magnifying glasses, picture guide for cleavage & fracture  \n6.Special Properties-Samples (including magnetite, calcite (clear), pyrite, quartz, mica, talc, barite, and any others that relate to the questions on the student worksheet), magnet, UV light, vinegar, safety goggles  \nNOTE: See the answer key included with the lesson's PowerPoint for specific minerals I used in my kits.  \n-The color a mineral appears to be; may vary from sample to sample    – The color of a mineral in a powder form; tested using a white plate LUSTER – How a mineral reflects   , such as metallic, glassy, dull, pearly  \nTRANSPARENCY/OPACITY – Whether or not a mineral allows light to pass through it, may be  \n   , semi-transparent, or    \n   – Description of what a mineral feels like, such as smooth, rough, grainy CHEMICAL COMPOSITION – Classified based on the   in they contain DENSITY–   􀁹   ; use a scale and overflow can/graduated cylinder to    SHAPE – Minerals have specific crystal shapes that can be used for identification.  \nCLEAVAGE/FRACTURE – Determined by how the mineral breaks apart;   = smooth and evenly,   = rough and jagged  \nHARDNESS – Use   scale and common objects to figure out a mineral’s hardness by the process of deduction.  \nSPECIAL PROPERTIES – Does it create a double image from   ?
