​Mineral Groups
​​Silicate Mineral Atomic Structure

Wednesday: Today we did the minerals quiz. If you missed it, please contact me to schedule a time to take it.

We began learning about Igneous rocks with "A study of Igneous Rocks." We introduced how to classify igneous rocks based on TEXTURE (how big the mineral crystals are) and MINERAL COMPOSITION (what minerals are in them). We will spend more time on mineral composition this week.

A study of Igneous Rocks

Slides: Igneous Rocks (up to slide # 13)
