Over the next few days, you will be researching one of Earth's roughly 4,000 minerals. Your job is to become the expert on that particular mineral, and then share your knowledge with the class through a Keynote presentation.
Here is a Grading Rubric to guide your research.
Here are a couple good websites with information on many common minerals.
Mineral Images (Alphabetical)
Minerals & Gemstones
Mineral Galleries
Here is the GoogleDoc to sign up for your mineral. If somebody else in your class period has already signed up for a mineral, you may not choose that one. First come, first served.
You only have three days to do your research and make an awesome presentation, so you must stay focused and work hard. Have at it!
