4. The properties of rocks and minerals reflect the processes that formed them. As a basis for understanding this concept:4b. Students know how to identify common rock-forming minerals (including quartz, calcite, feldspar, mica, and hornblende) and ore minerals by using a table of diagnostic properties.
6.Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful questions and conducting careful investigations. As a basis for understanding this concept and addressing the content in the other three strands, students should develop their own questions and perform investigations. Students will:
6a. Measure and estimate the weight, length, or volume of objects.
