Mineral Identification


Mineral Properties
Mineral properties are basically its luster, color, cleavage, and hardness. Luster tells us if whether the mineral is metallic or non-metallic. If the mineral breaks unevenly it has fracture or if the mineral breaks evenly then it has cleavage. Color of the mineral tells what color it has, but sometime its color is different than its streak. Cleavage tells us the shape of the mineral. Hardness of the mineral tells us how hard the mineral is which usually being measured by Moh Scale.

Reflection 
1. What did you enjoy most about this project and why?
Probably I enjoyed every thing in this project especially finding out whether our hypothesis was right or not it was kind of fun and enjoyable.

2. What was the most challenging for you during this project and why?
Making the video was most challenging because there were many steps to fellow. It really was lot of work there was 5 minerals and each has at least three steps and it also was hard to give each of them subtitle.

3. What new skills did you learn from doing this project?
I learned how to use iMovie at professional level also get to know how minerals are formed and their properties.

4.  Is there anything that you could have done to improve any of your work? Explain.
I think I could hookup my video by adding music in it if have chance to and I also can be more specific describing minerals, more details because during project we had less time to work on video.
