Do you remember when the best teacher ever(Ms.Thomas) taught us how we can identify/classify minerals❓😯]]> 2016-10-19 15:26:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mydancingshoes2/f87o45lkyd70/wish/131820168 mydancingshoes2 https://padlet.com/mydancingshoes2/f87o45lkyd70/wish/131826038 👍🏿😱Oh yeah!Ms.Thomas is pretty awesome,and she did teach us how to classify and identify certain minerals by using terms such as...luster,cleavage,fracture,color,and a lot of other things that relate to minerals like hardness,streak,and density!!]]> 2016-10-19 15:40:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mydancingshoes2/f87o45lkyd70/wish/131826038 mydancingshoes2 https://padlet.com/mydancingshoes2/f87o45lkyd70/wish/131827321 😐Yeah...so anyway,all minerals have a crystalline structure. I also recall Ms.Thomas saying that you can identify minerals by conducting a streak test.😎]]> 2016-10-19 15:43:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mydancingshoes2/f87o45lkyd70/wish/131827321 mydancingshoes2 https://padlet.com/mydancingshoes2/f87o45lkyd70/wish/131925944 🤔A streak test....So,in other words,scratch a mineral on paper?OH wait,NOW I remember!You scratch a mineral on a porcelain plate!! #BrainFart!]]> 2016-10-19 20:40:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mydancingshoes2/f87o45lkyd70/wish/131925944 mydancingshoes2 https://padlet.com/mydancingshoes2/f87o45lkyd70/wish/131927156 Haha!😊Yep,you scratch a mineral on a porcelain plate to find it's true color.]]> 2016-10-19 20:46:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mydancingshoes2/f87o45lkyd70/wish/131927156 mydancingshoes2 https://padlet.com/mydancingshoes2/f87o45lkyd70/wish/131927610 You can find a mineral's hardness,using the Moh's Scale.😀]]> 2016-10-19 20:48:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mydancingshoes2/f87o45lkyd70/wish/131927610 mydancingshoes2 https://padlet.com/mydancingshoes2/f87o45lkyd70/wish/131928029 I think I recall our beautiful teacher {Ms.Thomas}telling us how the Moh's Scale works.I believe she also told us what the #'s like 2.5,2,10 [etc.]meant.]]> 2016-10-19 20:51:15 UTC https://padlet.com/mydancingshoes2/f87o45lkyd70/wish/131928029 mydancingshoes2 https://padlet.com/mydancingshoes2/f87o45lkyd70/wish/131928749 Do you also remember luster?The way light reflects off a mineral.There are Silicate and Nonsilicate minerals too. Do you remember what they mean?🤷🙂]]> 2016-10-19 20:55:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mydancingshoes2/f87o45lkyd70/wish/131928749 mydancingshoes2 https://padlet.com/mydancingshoes2/f87o45lkyd70/wish/131929497 Actually...no.I don't remember,but could you refresh my memory?I could use it after my big brain fart that I just had.😊😚]]> 2016-10-19 21:00:42 UTC https://padlet.com/mydancingshoes2/f87o45lkyd70/wish/131929497 mydancingshoes2 https://padlet.com/mydancingshoes2/f87o45lkyd70/wish/131930081 Well...Silicate minerals are minerals that contain compounds of Silicon and Oxygen.]]> 2016-10-19 21:04:51 UTC https://padlet.com/mydancingshoes2/f87o45lkyd70/wish/131930081 mydancingshoes2 https://padlet.com/mydancingshoes2/f87o45lkyd70/wish/131930943 Oh! I understand,but I have one question...what about Non-Silicate minerals?😁=/]]> 2016-10-19 21:09:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mydancingshoes2/f87o45lkyd70/wish/131930943 mydancingshoes2 https://padlet.com/mydancingshoes2/f87o45lkyd70/wish/131931555 I wasn't finished yet.Anyway...NON-Silicate minerals are minerals that DON'T contain compounds of Silicon and Oxygen😉]]> 2016-10-19 21:13:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mydancingshoes2/f87o45lkyd70/wish/131931555 mydancingshoes2 https://padlet.com/mydancingshoes2/f87o45lkyd70/wish/131932334 Duh! Yeah,I remember a lot about minerals now!Like that they're all crystals,but they don't have to have a lot of luster.They can break just like bones can,except the way a mineral breaks is called fracture + cleavage.Cleavage means if it breaks smoothly,and fracture means if it breaks roughly. So,in a way,minerals have something in common with us... 🤗😜]]> 2016-10-19 21:18:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mydancingshoes2/f87o45lkyd70/wish/131932334 mydancingshoes2 https://padlet.com/mydancingshoes2/f87o45lkyd70/wish/131933923 🤣Except humans don't have a crystalline structure.I can't wait to learn more,I have to go study for the big minerals post test...hopefully I pass...GOOD LUCK!]]> 2016-10-19 21:28:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mydancingshoes2/f87o45lkyd70/wish/131933923 mydancingshoes2 https://padlet.com/mydancingshoes2/f87o45lkyd70/wish/131934292 You too!I hope Ms.Thomas doesn't make the questions hard...she tends to do that sometimes,but it's probably for learning purposes.Anyway,I'm going to go study now too! Bye!!😙😋]]> 2016-10-19 21:31:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mydancingshoes2/f87o45lkyd70/wish/131934292
