Rocks & Minerals Unit: Lesson 4: Mineral Identification Investigation!
Overview:
Today, we take the level of rigor higher! To review mineral property vocab, students do a quick crossword puzzle, and then read a rap/poem about a girl who'd asked for diamonds but got something questionable. Then, after checking their borax/Epsom salt crystals for the last time, we break out the mineral kits and go to work.
Using the properties they learned about and tested the day or two before, students will identify all of the minerals in their kit cooperatively. When finished, st

In this lesson, students experience real minerals through centers, a reading jigsaw, an online interactive and more, and will begin to see that some of the products they use the most (like their ce
