Hello! Today is my first lesson on grade six science and just happens to be about minerals and I just so happen to have a mineral collection, anyways here’s what I learned!
So first of all I learned that you can measure weight of a mineral by density. So for example if I have a rubber ball and a ball of Iron that are the same size since the Iron is more dense it weights more. I then learned that diamonds form differently according to temperature. In colder areas Diamonds tend to grow like a squares and in warmer areas it grows as the shape we now called diamond. I then learned that granite is actually multiple minerals like mica. Next I discovered that there is a strength class for minerals and iron is a 6.5 which is fairly strong.
That’s it for today!
