More minerals today.  We started a contest to identify the minerals in our mineral kit.  We talked a little bit about science safety, and how we need to wear gloves because some minerals can be harmful to us if we get them all over our skin.  Please rest at ease that all of our minerals are safe for students to work with.  We just like to form good science habits.  Today we learned some of the properties of Feldspar, Sulfur, Hematite, and Graphite, and we ran tests on them to try and discover which minerals from our kit match the properties.
   Progress Reports will be coming home tomorrow.
