I like looking at the different lusters of the minerals.]]> 2016-10-19 15:19:33 UTC https://padlet.com/lakisha_cheek/6hht1w59pggs/wish/131817524 lakisha_cheek https://padlet.com/lakisha_cheek/6hht1w59pggs/wish/131818159 Cool. Somebody told me that your class learned about silicate and nonsilicate minerals. What are those?]]> 2016-10-19 15:20:59 UTC https://padlet.com/lakisha_cheek/6hht1w59pggs/wish/131818159 lakisha_cheek https://padlet.com/lakisha_cheek/6hht1w59pggs/wish/131821797 Well I'm glad you asked. If a mineral is silicate it is composed of oxygen and silicon. If a mineral is non-silicate it is composed of anything except oxygen and silicon.]]> 2016-10-19 15:30:10 UTC https://padlet.com/lakisha_cheek/6hht1w59pggs/wish/131821797 lakisha_cheek https://padlet.com/lakisha_cheek/6hht1w59pggs/wish/131823354 Ok. Have you heard of a compound?]]> 2016-10-19 15:34:00 UTC https://padlet.com/lakisha_cheek/6hht1w59pggs/wish/131823354 lakisha_cheek https://padlet.com/lakisha_cheek/6hht1w59pggs/wish/131823863 We talked about this in class. But, I forgot what it is. Can you tell me? Don't tell Ms. Thomas.]]> 2016-10-19 15:35:17 UTC https://padlet.com/lakisha_cheek/6hht1w59pggs/wish/131823863 lakisha_cheek https://padlet.com/lakisha_cheek/6hht1w59pggs/wish/131824966 I probably wont tell her. Anyways... a compound is when two or more elements are chemically bonded and forms a mineral.]]> 2016-10-19 15:37:42 UTC https://padlet.com/lakisha_cheek/6hht1w59pggs/wish/131824966 lakisha_cheek https://padlet.com/lakisha_cheek/6hht1w59pggs/wish/131826277 Thanks, so if she ask's me tomorrow I,ll be ready. But, it's time to see if you were listening. Do you know what a cleavage and a fracture is? P.S. Just wanna make sure I wasn't the other one not listening.]]> 2016-10-19 15:40:35 UTC https://padlet.com/lakisha_cheek/6hht1w59pggs/wish/131826277 lakisha_cheek https://padlet.com/lakisha_cheek/6hht1w59pggs/wish/131827549 Yes I do know! #genius. The cleavage of a mineral is when it breaks smoothly. A fracture of a rock is when a mineral breaks roughly.]]> 2016-10-19 15:44:11 UTC https://padlet.com/lakisha_cheek/6hht1w59pggs/wish/131827549 lakisha_cheek https://padlet.com/lakisha_cheek/6hht1w59pggs/wish/131828277 Well Done, do you know how scientists test the hardness of a mineral? ]]> 2016-10-19 15:46:09 UTC https://padlet.com/lakisha_cheek/6hht1w59pggs/wish/131828277 lakisha_cheek https://padlet.com/lakisha_cheek/6hht1w59pggs/wish/131829014 Duh! It's called the Mohs Hardness Scale. #obviously P.S what's a "streak"?]]> 2016-10-19 15:48:00 UTC https://padlet.com/lakisha_cheek/6hht1w59pggs/wish/131829014 lakisha_cheek https://padlet.com/lakisha_cheek/6hht1w59pggs/wish/131914206 Haha! I knew there was something you didn't know about minerals. A streak is the color of a mineral in its powdered form. But, I have one more question. What is a crystal?]]> 2016-10-19 19:43:47 UTC https://padlet.com/lakisha_cheek/6hht1w59pggs/wish/131914206 lakisha_cheek https://padlet.com/lakisha_cheek/6hht1w59pggs/wish/131914724 A crystal is a solid, geometric form of minerals that are formed by repeating a pattern of atoms. Minerals also formed crystals. i have to go. I have a tap class in 15 minutes.
