Hello, my dear students! đź‘‹
Welcome to Module 3 of our SCI-SAYA journey—Rock-Forming Minerals. Have you ever stopped to think about what rocks are really made of? In this lesson, we’re going to explore the tiny but powerful building blocks of Earth—minerals! You’ll get to know how these minerals are identified through their physical and chemical properties, and how they come together to form the rocks we see all around us. We'll also dive into some real-life examples and see how these minerals are actually part of your everyday life—from the gadgets you use to the roads you walk on. So get ready, open your minds, and let's dig deep into the world beneath our feet!
Let's watch another video from another teacher Tantan about rock forming mineral
Now that you’ve gone through the lesson, I’d love to hear what you’ve learned and what stood out to you. In your journal, please reflect on these questions:
What did you learn about the different properties used to identify minerals? Can you describe a few in your own words?
Choose one mineral from the lesson—what makes it interesting or useful in real life?
How has this lesson changed the way you look at rocks and the ground around you?
Take your time and be honest with your answers. I always enjoy reading your thoughts, and I’m excited to see how you’re growing as young scientists
