We used our magnifing classes to look at each mineral and then we wrote notes describing what we saw.
Next, we looked at our twelve rock samples and predicted which rocks might have tiny pieces of these minerals in them.
Galena Mineral Prediction
The following number of students from our class think that the mineral Galena is in the following rocks. # of students / groups:
- Granite 2
- Gneiss 3
- Limestone 1
- Shale 1
- Sandstone 1
- Obsidian 1
- Basalt 1
- Slate 2
- Marble 2
- Schist 3
Feldspar Mineral Predictions
The following number of students from room 206 at Pennell think that the mineral Feldspar is in the following rocks.
6 students/groups think feldspar is in granite.
1 student/group think feldspar is in gneiss.
1 student/group think feldspar is in conglomerate.
1 student/group think feldspar is in shale.
Quartz Mineral Prediction
My classmates and I think that the mineral quartz is in the following rocks:
1 student/group think quartz is in limestone.
5 students/groups think quartz is in obsidian.
1 student / group think quartz is in pumice.
7 students / groups think quartz is in marble.
2 students/ groups think quartz
After more investigation, we will let you know how close our predictions were.

Learning about rocks and minerals was one of the most fun science lesson i ever learned!
the pictures on this blog or awsome.i love to learn about rocks and minerals.
We have learned lots of things about minerals. Like if you boil a lava rock it turns into lava.
I love learning about rocks and minerals.
I looooooooove the science lesson we are learning!!!!! Are there any other kinds minerals?
i love learning about Minerals,and Science. My mom mom's friend works at Notting Ham! Why do we were gloves for touching minerals?
learning about rocks and minerals is fun.
I love to learn about rocks and minerels because they are cool!also why do you have to were gloves while handelng minerals.

Hi ilove rocks
I learned so much about feld spar i love minerals.
I love learning about minerals. Why do we have our own website and no other 3 grade class are doing it? Did you know that there is a lot of rocks in the whole entire world?
WOW! This is great information kids! Very interesting.
i like that we did slopes for science it was cool
i like that we did slopes it was the cool
i like that we did slopes it was the cool
I love the picks on the blog! And lrning about rocks and minerals too!
I like the science slope experiement.
I liked the science experiement with the water drops going down the slopes!! It was cool. I also liked the slope contest we did.
do you know i love rocks and minereals?
