Lab one
• Part 1-the scientific method• Part 2-based on Hardness • (excell file)(Moh’s Scale• Part 3-based on cleavage
• GOOD NEWS( most of the lab is done for You!!• Again-this is very boring but the exciting part is
the concept of learning to classify items!!!
![Page 2: Earth science day one](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5557249ad8b42a320c8b491a/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Do not focus on the mineral itself
• Focus on the method
![Page 3: Earth science day one](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5557249ad8b42a320c8b491a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

minerals?”• To simplify –in groups of 3-4-use one box• I will assign 6 geological samples to you• Please make a flow chart based on “what
stood out for you?”

http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/geology/leveson/core/linksa/hardness_def.html
• "Hardness is a measure of how difficult or easy it is for a substance to be penetrated or scratched! For example, steel (like a steel nail) can scratch your fingernail, so steel is harder than fingernail!!"
![Page 27: Earth science day one](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5557249ad8b42a320c8b491a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Moh's Scale measures
• The Moh's Scale measures the relative hardness of various substances. It uses ten reference minerals. The hardness of a substance is determined by scratching it against a reference mineral. If it scratches that mineral, then it is of equal hardness or harder than that mineral, otherwise it is softer then that mineral. The picture below shows the minerals that are used on the Moh's Scale.

1 Talc Fingernail scratches it easily.
2 Gypsum Fingernail scratches it.
3 Calcite Copper penny scratches it.
4 Fluorite Steel knife scratches it easily.
5 Apatite Steel knife scratches it.
6 Feldspar Steel knife does not scratch it easily, but scratches glass.
7 Quartz Hardest common mineral. It scratches steel and glass easily.
8 Topaz Harder than any common mineral.

Use this principle
any thing I can scrathe wih my finger nail

any thing I can scrathe wih my penny
3 below Penny (copper)so now build up to copper
any thing I can scrathe wih my glass
3 below glassso now build up to glass

• Do you know the difference between a rock and a mineral? Minerals are the building blocks of rocks. Here are some of the basic characteristics of minerals to help you understand what they are:
![Page 37: Earth science day one](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5557249ad8b42a320c8b491a/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
They are . . .
• Naturally occurring• Homogeneous• Inorganic• Solid • Ordered internal arrangemnt of atoms• (crystals or glasses)• Distinctive chemical composition
![Page 38: Earth science day one](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5557249ad8b42a320c8b491a/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
caesium chloride unit cellthis structure is more likely to be formed from two elements whose ions are of roughly the same size (for example, ionic
radius of Cs+ = 167 pm, and Cl− = 181 pm).
![Page 39: Earth science day one](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5557249ad8b42a320c8b491a/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
.
• Minerals are inorganic; they are not alive and they are not plants or animals. An example of a rock that is not a mineral is coal. Coal is a substance formed from decayed plants and animals. Therefore, coal is not considered a mineral.
![Page 40: Earth science day one](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5557249ad8b42a320c8b491a/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
• Minerals are found in the earth or are naturally occurring substances. They are found in dirt, rocks, and water. They are not made by man
• A zincblende unit cell

• Minerals are chemical substances. Some minerals like gold or silver are made of only one element. Other minerals, like quartz and calcite, are combinations of two or more elements.
![Page 42: Earth science day one](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5557249ad8b42a320c8b491a/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
• Minerals always have the same chemical makeup. For example, quartz will always consist of one part silicon (an element) two parts oxygen (another element).
![Page 43: Earth science day one](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5557249ad8b42a320c8b491a/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
• Minerals always have the same chemical makeup. For example, quartz will always consist of one part silicon (an element) two parts oxygen (another element).

• About 2,000 minerals have been found. Oxygen is part of many minerals. Minerals containing oxygen make up almost half of the earth's crust. Quartz is a common mineral. Other common minerals are feldspar, mica, and horneblend. Many rocks are made of these common minerals
![Page 45: Earth science day one](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5557249ad8b42a320c8b491a/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
• Some minerals are rare and expensive. They are called gems . Diamonds, rubies, and emeralds are good examples of such minerals. Gold and silver are also minerals. Together, these natural substances are used to make beautiful jewelry
![Page 46: Earth science day one](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5557249ad8b42a320c8b491a/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
A rock
• Is a naturally occurring, inorganic solid consisting of an aggregate of mineral grains , pieces of older rocks, or a mass of natural glass
