Name Jonch 1gmanc Date_ 27 ;/ )(‘} Identifying Minerals Lab Objective: Toidentify different minerals based on their physical properties. Materials needed duringthelab: * Mineral ldentification Chart e Mohs Hardness Scale Procedure: 1. Read through the entire procedure before beginning the lab. 2. Complete the Purpose and Hypothesis (alwaysanif/then statement) sections. 3. Complete Part | of this lab working through the lab that is in the lesson. Make sure to have your worksheet open so thatyou canrecord your results of eachrock test. 4. Once you have identified all of the properties, click on the button to “Identify the Mineral”. Using the properties you have identified, compare with the information provided on the Mineral Identification Chart and Mohs Hardness scale to find the best match and fill in the Mineral Name column of the Data table. 5. For Part Il you will also be given information about the mineralin the picture and using only your Mineral Identification Chartand Mohs Hardness Scale identify the mineral in question. 6. Complete the Observation/Analysis, Conclusion, and Application sections before submitting the completed lab exercise, Purpose: Refer tothe objective of this lab to writea 1-2 sentence purpose statement for this lab. What do you want the outcome to be? What question(s) are you trying to answer?

Observation and Analysis: Inthis lab, you looked at a number of different physical properties for each mineral in order to identify the sample on display. Why was it necessary to consider more than just one or two physical properties in order to identify each mineral? What properties were most beneficial toyou in identifying the minerals whose names were not provided? Why? Write 3-5 sentences answeringthese questions, (10 pts) b el G botilness were apST P, e e, y/i/fi/w/; F oA ol F 6"//«&4/'5’ Aok 5 Conclusions: Write 3-5 sentences with your conclusions to this lab exercise. Inyour response, consider the following questions: What did you learn from this lab exercise? Was your hypothesis correct? What are some ways this experiment could be improved? What other properties of these minerals would have been helpful information for you to have in naming some of these minerals?
