Now that we have the knowledge and the skills to identify minerals, it is time to move on to rocks. We will be performing an Igneous, a Sedimentary and a Metamorphic rock investigation. Be sure to read chapter 5 and restate/answer the chapter 5 topics 1-23. Spend some time checking out my Rock Review Trackstar. The Rock Practical Test will be Monday, March 29, 2010 and the Chapter 5 Written Test will be Tuesday, March 30, 2010. Your success in this rock section is directly proportional to the time you spend reading and practicing the labs.

Over the next Month, we will be studying Geology. The first few weeks we will be identifying minerals by using an arsenal of observations and tests. Before the Mineral Lab we will practice with the Specific Gravity Lab. Students will then begin testing and identifying 30 rock-forming minerals. The Mineral Lab will be due Monday, March 8, 2010. Reread chapter 4 (pages 53-57) EVERY DAY! Practice the Mineral Notes, and put in lots of time practicing the minerals in your kit. Check out The Mineral Project Website. It has a mineral search, mineral identification notes, and a large database of minerals. Check out Minerals for more information. The mineral practical test will be Tuesday, March 9, 2010. The Chapter 4 written test will be Wednesday, March 10, 2010.

I figured it was time to update the look of my website. The links are all the same. I just began tinkering with a few programs and ideas that I can not get out of my head. E-mail me and let me know what you think of the new look.
