2. All occurrences of a mineral has to have chemical composition.
3.  A mineral has to have a sort of pattern or combination of atoms that make it it's own.
4. All minerals are inorganic meaning it is not a living thing.
5. All minerals have to be a solid. NOT a liquid or gas. ]]> 2019-01-15 19:27:27 UTC https://padlet.com/slermgodts/ql98nt02f3fz/wish/320959306 asorbin https://padlet.com/slermgodts/ql98nt02f3fz/wish/320966544 1. Crystallization of magma or lava.

Test 1: Specific Gravity, by weighing a mineral and dropping that mineral from a high place you can narrow down the possibilities of it being a certain mineral. 
Test 2: Streak, by getting a hard surface and scratching the mineral on the surface to see if it leaves a certain mark. ]]> 2019-01-16 19:15:43 UTC https://padlet.com/slermgodts/ql98nt02f3fz/wish/321410316 slermgodts https://padlet.com/slermgodts/ql98nt02f3fz/wish/321410887 2019-01-16 19:16:33 UTC https://padlet.com/slermgodts/ql98nt02f3fz/wish/321410887 slermgodts https://padlet.com/slermgodts/ql98nt02f3fz/wish/321411302 2019-01-16 19:17:16 UTC https://padlet.com/slermgodts/ql98nt02f3fz/wish/321411302 asorbin https://padlet.com/slermgodts/ql98nt02f3fz/wish/321411394 2019-01-16 19:17:27 UTC https://padlet.com/slermgodts/ql98nt02f3fz/wish/321411394 asorbin https://padlet.com/slermgodts/ql98nt02f3fz/wish/321412094 2019-01-16 19:18:38 UTC https://padlet.com/slermgodts/ql98nt02f3fz/wish/321412094 slermgodts https://padlet.com/slermgodts/ql98nt02f3fz/wish/321412524 2019-01-16 19:19:21 UTC https://padlet.com/slermgodts/ql98nt02f3fz/wish/321412524 slermgodts https://padlet.com/slermgodts/ql98nt02f3fz/wish/321414737 These are some examples of Mineral water]]> 2019-01-16 19:23:04 UTC https://padlet.com/slermgodts/ql98nt02f3fz/wish/321414737 slermgodts https://padlet.com/slermgodts/ql98nt02f3fz/wish/321416391 This shows that all minerals are solid.]]> 2019-01-16 19:25:57 UTC https://padlet.com/slermgodts/ql98nt02f3fz/wish/321416391 asorbin https://padlet.com/slermgodts/ql98nt02f3fz/wish/321416736 2019-01-16 19:26:25 UTC https://padlet.com/slermgodts/ql98nt02f3fz/wish/321416736 slermgodts https://padlet.com/slermgodts/ql98nt02f3fz/wish/321417274 Test one-Magnetic. You can figure out a mineral by seeing if it is magnetic. Sure you can not pinpoint the exact mineral just from that, but you can shorten down the list of different possibilities. 
Test Two- Hardness. By just feeling the mineral you can narrow down your possibilities of it being a certain mineral. Depending on how soft or smooth or hard it is you can figure out key details for a certain mineral.]]> 2019-01-16 19:27:26 UTC https://padlet.com/slermgodts/ql98nt02f3fz/wish/321417274 slermgodts https://padlet.com/slermgodts/ql98nt02f3fz/wish/321421087 2019-01-16 19:34:27 UTC https://padlet.com/slermgodts/ql98nt02f3fz/wish/321421087 slermgodts https://padlet.com/slermgodts/ql98nt02f3fz/wish/321424158 this is showing a magnet that has attached to a mineral.]]> 2019-01-16 19:40:10 UTC https://padlet.com/slermgodts/ql98nt02f3fz/wish/321424158 slermgodts https://padlet.com/slermgodts/ql98nt02f3fz/wish/321425530 This shows different minerals that can be smooth or rough.]]> 2019-01-16 19:42:27 UTC https://padlet.com/slermgodts/ql98nt02f3fz/wish/321425530
