Lesson 7 Rocks and Soils: Practicing Identifying Rocks with their Attributes

Welcome back!

Today, you get to practice identifying minerals based on attributes that are given to you on a table. Geologists use guides and tables all the time to help them with identifying rocks and minerals, so you will be acting just like a real scientist of the rock world! The table you need is on the digital poster below. You can look at it as many times as you need to help you answer the questions in the activity. You might even refer back to the Mohs hardness scale poster for extra help!
