What do copper, table salt, and diamonds all have in common? Third graders at Triton Elementary will tell you they are all minerals! There are over 4,700 different minerals that can be found on Earth, but just what is a mineral?
Triton learners have discovered that minerals are nonliving solids that have a crystal form such as square pyramid, square prism, or hexagonal prism. When minerals combine they can create a rock. Everyone had a lot of fun creating their own crystals in our classroom. Once the crystals had formed, they could be observed for hardness, crystal form, luster, streak, and color.
Everyone enjoyed a follow up activity to see how different minerals are in everyday objects by going to Mineralogy 4 Kids at: http://www.mineralogy4kids.org/minerals-your-house
