2. Pick 5 minerals from the ESRT page 16: write the name, chemical composition, and the names of the elements that make up the composition.
3. Fill in the chart and identify the minerals.

On your ESRT copy or on the back of your INB:
1. As you watch the entire video, highlight or underline in different colors, the main properties to identifying minerals.
2. After the video: Add a response with two different properties of minerals and how you can determine that property

Luster: Look at it, is it shiny or not shiny
Hardness: Use a test to determine based on moh's hardness scale

Cleavage : breaks off clean
Fracture : breaks off in pieces

luster- is it metallic or not

distinguishing characteristics- things that make it easier to identify

# data[].attributes.body
The luster can help determine which mineral it is, as it is a key factor in separating metallic minerals from non-metallic. Cleavage is also important, as the way a mineral splits can be a major lead in determining it's identity.

The mineral with the name fool's gold is always pyrite and a mineral of the magnetic description is magnetite. A mineral with the hardness of 5.5 and above will scratch glass.

Cleavage: When a mineral breaks off on a flat plane.                              Fracture: When a mineral breaks into pieces.

Hardness: how hard the mineral is and in comparison to other objects.

hardness; 1-5.5 anything more will scratch
composition: what the mineral has in side
