Vocabulary
Mineral-a naturally occurring, inorganic compound found in a rock. Streak-the color of the powdered mineral. Luster-the ability of a mineral to reflect light, shiny or dull. Hardness-the resistance of a mineral to being scratched.

 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I can examine a mineral and determine its luster, streak, breakage, and hardness. I can use these characteristics to determine its identify by using page 16 in my ESRT. ||  ||
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I can examine an igneous rock and determine its environment of formation, texture, color, density, and mineral composition by using page 6 in my ESRT. ||  ||
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I can determine the percentage of minerals found in an igneous rock. ||  ||
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I can examine a sedimentary rock and determine its texture, mineral composition, and idenity by using page 7 in my ESRT. ||  ||
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I can explain the origin of formation for clastic, crystalline, and bioclastic sedimentary rocks. ||  ||
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I can examine a metamorphic rock and determine its texture, origin of formation, mineral composition and identity by using page 7 in my ESRT. ||  ||
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I can determine the parent rock of a metamorphic rock. ||  ||
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I can use the rock cycle diagram on page 6 of my ESRT. I can explain what natural forces cause rocks to transform over time. ||  ||
