DESCRIPTION
TRANSCRIPT
-
In science, we were using the steps of the scientific method to figure out what our mystery
mineral was.
First things first, I examined it using some of my senses.
My mineral was very, no I mean very sparkly!
The mineral had a very opaque gold color, and had little holes in it in some places.
Then, from my examination, I made a hypothesis.
My mineral was either pyrite or Autunite because it looked like both of them but pyrite was
a better match.
I knew it was pyrite right after I got it.
Pyrite is the scientific name for fools gold.
For the most part, I found that the scratch test helped me identify my mineral the most
because if I did not know that the streak was greenish black, I would have picked
something else.
In conclusion, my hypothesis of my mystery mineral was the exact mineral that I guessed
pyrite.
I loved this experiment and I want to do another experiment like the mystery mineral
again.
