Students will become mineralogists as they explore the characteristic properties of minerals in a lab-like setting. Students will use scientific tests and careful observations of properties such as color, hardness, reflectivity, density, and magnetism to carry out investigations. By interpreting evidence and constructing arguments, students will identify minerals the way geologists do.
