1. Minerals and Rocks Laura Burke

2. How do we identify minerals? How do we classify rocks?

3. Today’s Vocabulary  Mineral  Rock  Ingenious rock  Sediment  Sedimentary rock  Metamorphic rock

4. What are minerals?  Solid, non-living substances found in nature  The building blocks of rocks

5. We can identify minerals by their…  Color  Streak  Luster  Hardness

6. Color and Streak  Color – one color or many colors  Streak- the color of the powder left by a mineral

7. Luster and hardness  Luster- how light shines off a mineral  Hardness – how easily a mineral can be scratched

8. Hardness Scale  Minerals with higher numbers can scratch minerals with lower numbers

9. What are rocks?  Non-living material  Made up of one or more minerals

10. Grains  A rock’s texture  Large grains = rough texture  Small grains = smooth texture

11. Types of Rocks  Igneous rock  Sedimentary rock  Metamorphic rock  Rocks Song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =jPgE74Vltdc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =jPgE74Vltdc

12. Igneous Rock  Forms when melted rock cools and hardens.  Examples  Granite  Basalt

13. Sedimentary Rock  Forms from layers of sediment  Sediment - Bits of weathered rock  Examples  Sandstone  Shale

14. Metamorphic Rock  Formed by heating and squeezing rock  Rock’s minerals change  Examples  Slate  Gneiss

15. Lesson Objectives  3.2 - The student will demonstrate an understanding of Earth’s composition and the changes that occur to the features of Earth’s surface. (Earth Science)  3-3.2 Identify common minerals on the basis of their properties by using a minerals identification key.  3. 3.1 - Classify rocks (including igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic) and soils (including humus, clay, sand, and silt) on the basis of their properties.
