Minerals

Bellringer Brainstorm what do you know about minerals. How do you think minerals relate to earth science or the periodic table?

What is a Mineral? Naturally occurring: Not man-made. Made by natural processes Inorganic solid: Are not alive, were never part of anything living. Solids with Specific Chemical Composition: solid with a unique chemical composition of elements Definite Crystalline Structure: Atoms arranged in geometric patterns

Why are Minerals Important? Earth’s crust is composed of about 3,000 minerals. Minerals play a role in forming rocks, shaping Earth’s surface, and shaping civilization. Wars have been fought over gold and silver, minerals.

Why are Minerals Important? Uses of minerals: Make computers, cars, televisions, desk, roads, buildings, jewelry, beds, paints, sports equipment, and medicine

Ores Ore is a type of rock that contains minerals with important elements such as metals. Ores are mined for profit.

Mines Underground mining is used to remove ores located deep within Earth’s crust. If it is too expensive to remove waste material from the ore, the ore will not be profitable.

Gems Valuable minerals prized for their rarity and beauty. Rubies, emeralds, diamonds are cut, polished and used for jewelry. Diamonds are not the most valuable gems because others are more rare (rubies and emeralds).

Questions? Write question and answer in 3 ring binder 1. What is a mineral? 2. What is an ore? 3. Why are some minerals classified as gems? 3. List several gems 4. Make a concept map with the definition of a mineral and the uses (crystalline, inorganic, natural, ore, mines, gems, profit, rarity= examples of words to be used)
