1. videos on mineral hardness, cleavage/fracture and special properties:
hardness test: https://youtu.be/9r7C5SD14Hw
cleavage and fracture: https://youtu.be/1SGC3VBQZY0
special properties: https://youtu.be/1SGC3VBQZY0

2. We finished our definitions of the physical properties found here: https://betterlesson.com/lesson/617672/introduction-to-minerals?from=master_teacher_curriculum

3. We used our mineral hardness identification kits and did some hands on activities testing hardness of our minerals.

4. We finished 1.3 -

1. We talked about the bias in this video: https://youtu.be/1577EJ1Pskg

2. We then looked at this video to see if there was any bias: https://youtu.be/ynN39sfqT8w

3. Then we looked at this video to identify that we use minerals everyday: https://youtu.be/hA2HKKKa5zY

Afterwards we did this lesson: https://betterlesson.com/lesson/617672/introduction-to-minerals

You handed in page 5 of the practice questions for marking

Today we did the unknown rock identification lab

**** ROCK POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS ARE DUE ON MONDAY****

1. video: https://youtu.be/kRUwchlza88

Today we talked about the difference between regional and contact metamorphism and did a Venn Diagram comparing and contrasting them.

2. Then we did this lesson: https://betterlesson.com/lesson/617987/metamorphic-rocks-ii?from=breadcrumb_lesson

We talked about the sequence of metamorphism and how gneiss (said 'nice') is the most metamorphic rock you can get.

Friday Oct 11

We watched the movie San Andres today :) Happy long weekend

Oct 10

We went for a walk to the Columbia River to find Igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks!

It was a beautiful day!

1. We continued with our flowchart and worked on the Sedimentary Rock section (middle) by watching this video: https://youtu.be/Etu9BWbuDlY

2. We had lots of samples of sedimentary rocks that we passed around today

3. We looked at our ESRT Sedimentary Rock chart and figured out how to use it : https://youtu.be/NWQLmGu8fSg

4. Lastly we worked on section 1.9 Chart introduction and Practice:

We did this lesson today and got to the end of the first practice (page 6)

Today was tricky as we discussed how to use a ESRT - Igneous rock chart and we watched this video lesson to help us learn how to use it: https://youtu.be/RGQeJL1izBE
