Tomorrow we will have a quiz that goes over the following mineral vocabulary: cleavage, compound, crystal, density, element, fracture, hardness, luster, mineral, Moh's, ore, streak, fluorescence. Other information that needs to be known are the 4 characteristics of a mineral and what they mean. Students will also be responsible for knowing how minerals are used in industry as well as three properties that are used in identifying minerals. If students know all this, they should ACE this quiz on the last day of the 3rd quarter!
