Here is a song I created to help my 6th grade students study. I hope you enjoy. Minerals have special properties To help identify, observe it Observe, identify it These minerals, they're naturally occurring Inorganic solids, crystal shape Elements always the same Minerals To classify it as, it must be Found in the crust, but naturally But you know it is so, inorganic not plant and trees Animals once living, minerals then it can't be A mineral is always solid It has definite volume And you know that you should know And here we go Minerals line up so Making crystals shape strong Faces, edges, corners hold With elements made of atoms Same chemical and physical Making composition But most are made of the minerals Are made up of a compound Two or more elements they're no longer alone Dissolving in water, melted material These are the processes that will make minerals 'Cause minerals will form from cooling lava or magma Inside of the crust on land or forming in water If cooling happens fast, small crystals they are had If cooling really slow, larger ones they have Can form from water solutions, or it's from evaporation These minerals, they're naturally occurring Inorganic solids, crystal shape Elements always the same These minerals, they're naturally occurring Inorganic solids, crystal shape Elements always the same Minerals These properties Can help identify and check it Start with the hardness in fact Using Mohs scale to rank it Now we're down to check the color, yeah we checking An easy thing see many greenish others reddish Streak test provide a clue to Identify, observe rub on a plate color alert The density within can tell the mass of minerals And check luster-how the light reflects off of it Dissolving in water, melted material These are the processes that will make minerals 'Cause minerals will form from cooling lava or magma Inside of the crust on land or forming in water If cooling happens fast, small crystals they are had If cooling really slow, larger ones they have Can form from water solutions, or it's from evaporation These minerals, they're naturally occurring Inorganic solids, crystal shape Elements always the same These minerals, they're naturally occurring Inorganic solids, crystal shape Elements always the same Minerals Silicates and carbonates Having hydrogen-halides Now minerals have special properties To help identify, observe it Having sulfur-sulfides And phosphorus are phosphates See, minerals have special properties To help observe, identify it Special unique properties To help observe, identify it These minerals, they're naturally occurring Inorganic solids, crystal shape Elements always the same These minerals, they're naturally occurring Inorganic solids, crystal shape Elements always the same These minerals, they're naturally occurring Inorganic solids, crystal shape Elements always the same Minerals
