Minerals reflection
Rock are valuable because they contain minerals. Every rock has a different type of mineral, so they have different values. Rocks are not only valuable because they have minerals, but because they are used for things that we need. Such as our buildings and the asphalt that we drive on.

I think it fits because Minerals are part of the environment and Minerals are mined which effects the environment.  We are surrounded with minerals, in our cars, in our cereal, in our computers, you get it.

I think that i understood almost everything about minerals, of course there is a lot more to learn. Some of the activities that we had to do that i remember was Making a ad about a mineral(i chose dolomite) and conversing in groups about oceans minerals. In these activities i was co-opperative and i made what i had to say clear.

I didn't learn any new skills, but i definitely know more about minerals than i ever did. I had no idea that you had togo through steps to be able to identify minerals and i was clue less about minerals properties and many more. For skills i guess i learn't better research sills and animating skills.

I found the fact that rocks include 2 minerals inside very interesting. Finding this fact i came up with a question. "Do all rocks have minerals" if they do will i be able to crack a rock in half and find a minerals? Out of all the properties a mineral need to have to be a mineral i think the luster was the coolest property.

My favorite part was doing the animation. Because i love making cool animations and it reminded me of 5th grade. My least favorite part was................nothing really i loved all of this unit.

For this unit to tell you the gods honest truth i wouldn't change anything about this unit.
