We have been testing the properties of minerals to determine the identity using the properties of streak, luster, color, texture, and hardness. Below are the conclusion questions for the Mineral Identification Labs.
Mineral Identification Lab
Conclusion/Reflection Questions
1. How useful is color in determining a mineral’s identity? Explain your answer with evidence.
2. How would knowing the hardness of a mineral be useful?
3. Which property do you think is the best at determining a mineral’s identity? Why?
***There will be a quiz on Friday over the properties of streak, color, hardness, texture and luster. Included on this quiz will be the Mohs hardness scale.***
