In this lab we studied about different types of Mineral which is abiotic (non living) solid that occurs naturally in the listhoshere. In addition we studied their properties and characteristics including their colors which we use the steak plate to scratch the mineral on the plate to see the color that the mineral give after we scratched, hardness, we use the glass plate to scratch on it to see how ahrd the mineral is, Luster how shiny a mineral is which determine if the mineral is metallic or nonmetallic,Cleavage when the mineral can break evenly in straigth line and Freacture when the mineral break unevenly. There are also some minerals that are magnetic which can attach on the magnet.

The most challenging for me was filming the video because we had to film each mineral and identify their characteristics and properties.

Yes, something that i needed to do improve my work i wished i had more time so that i would have Ms.Kara proofread all of my written lab which would help me to revise my work.
