Sixth grade Earth Science students are learning to use physical and chemical properties to identify minerals. The way a mineral breaks (cleavage or fracture), in addition to its color, crystal shape, streak, and luster can be used to make the determination.
In this activity, different mineral samples were observed under magnification to determine whether they exhibit fracture, conchoidal fracture, or cleavage. If the mineral displayed cleavage, the number of cleavage planes was specified.

🚌✨ Our 7th graders had an amazing day on their field trip! They traveled to see “Edgar Allan Poe’s Twisted Tales Ballet,” where classic stories like The Tell-Tale Heart and The Raven came to life through music and movement. 🎭📚🩰
To top it off, the group made a sweet stop at Whitey’s Ice Cream for a treat before heading home! 🍦😋
What a fun and memorable day of learning, art, and a little dessert!
