Tuesday’s Agenda

• Minerals PPT “Mineral or Rock” Lab

Practice Inspect the Granite Draw and color what you see under the

hand lens Trace the perimeter of the hand lens Draw what you see in proportion to the area of

view Coloring details accurately

Apply & Connect What is Granite?

A rock What are the different color

material? Minerals

Are minerals and rocks the same? No. Rocks are composed of one or more

minerals. Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic

compounds that are crystalline in form and have a definite composition.

Apply & Connect

Label the following on your drawings:

Pink (may be glassy looking): Feldspar Black or brown: Hornblende Shiny gray or clear flecks: Mica Milky or clear: Quartz

Exit Write a half page reflection on the

concepts discussed in today’s lesson

C - Why do we need to know this?

We need to test and understand minerals in order to do, make, or build things.

Having this knowledge allows us, as humans, to better ourselves and allow us to grow as a civilization.

Exit Write a half page reflection on the

concepts discussed in today’s lesson

Starter - 10/6/11

What is the mass of a sack of crawfish that has a density of 65 grams per mL and a volume of 100 mL?

Create your own word problems

1. Create a word problem for finding DENSITY

2. Create a word problem for finding MASS

Create a word problem for finding VOLUME 3. One using L x W x H 4. One using the density triangle

D = M / V V = M / D M = D * V

Starter - 10/7/11

What is the density of 2 filets of Trout, if the mass is 360 grams and the volume is 120 mL (per Trout)?
