PURPOSE OF THE INVESTIGATIONS: You have been hired by the Know-Whin Investment Corporation to determine the value of a mineral deposit located on a piece of land they are considering buying. The Corporation has supplied you with six bags of mineral samples their agents have collected from the land. Each bag contains multiple samples of the same mineral. Although the samples in each single bag may vary somewhat in appearance, they are the same mineral. Because they are the same mineral, all the samples in a single bag have the same identification number. Your task is to determine the name of the mineral that each bag contains. That is, you need to determine the name of the mineral that each of the six numbers represents.
2. Print out the materials needed for this investigation. (See Print and Form Shop tab in this box) 3. Identify and name the minerals you have been assigned by determining their properties. The Properties of Minerals Resource Table in the box below on this page will enable you determine up to eight properties of the samples. For each property, the Table provides you with three links.
