1 Thank you for not chewing gum 
Materials: Pencil Notebook Folder Lab Text – pg. B-21 September 26 Today’s Agenda: Bell work Acid Test Reading BG Paragraph Objective: Today we will design an investigation to identify a mineral. Daily Question: What is one interesting fact about how to identify minerals?

2 Background Research Describe 3 significant pieces of information that are not commonly known about your topic. (mineral identification) Topic sentence states your topic 3 facts or pieces of information about your topic 3 explanations about those pieces of information Conclusion restates what your paragraph was about Don’t forget transitions

3 Background Research Paragraph Example
There are several important ways to identify minerals. First, the acid test is a test that will tell me if a mineral is calcite or not. For example, calcite fizzes under hydrochloric acid. Second set of yellow/pink: How will the hardness test help you identify minerals? Third set of yellow/pink: What other test will help you identify a mineral and how?
