Hello Parents and Students,

Hope you had a wonderful weekend. This week we will be starting physical properties of minerals. Minerals have many of the same properties as elements, so we will comparing the two to see their similarities and differences. I will be out Friday of this week.

Students will compare minerals using physical properties. Students will test the streak, color, hardness, cleavage, and fracture.
