Exploring Mineral Properties and Natural Resources in Earth Science

In today's Earth Science class, we'll delve into the fascinating properties of minerals, focusing on their value as natural resources. We'll start with a quiz, followed by activities that reinforce our understanding of minerals, including crystalline structures and the roles of geologists. Using the example of Azurite Copper from the Lavender Pit in Bisbee, AZ, students will engage in partner reading and summarizing key vocabulary. Our goal is to grasp what makes these materials essential and how they're studied in the field of geology.
