Harvard+Museum+Of+Natural+History-Minerals

=HOLA WIKI USERS!!= I am __**THEANSTERS**__ and I am an 8th grader at the [|Amigos School. I]’m making this WIKI to talk about MINERALS. On Monday January 7, 2008 my class went to learn about the prehistoric past of New England. At the end of our labs my teacher, Ms. Ferhani, told us that we were going to learn about elements. This is how I decided to do my WIKI.

We went to the Harvard Museum Of Natural History. We walked to the museum. This museum a sall sorts of exhibits from the past and the present. There was this one section of the museum was for minerals and here were all types like sulforsalts, silver, and sulfur.

Minerals are the building blocks of the earth they make up the soil that nourishes our foods they also make up all the elements like rocks and led, gold and also silver. A type of mineral isSulforsalts. They are rare complex minerals that include important ores of silver (Ag), mercury (Hg), copper (Cu) and bismuth (Bi), which are very sensitive to the light. All minerals are made up of one element and they can’t be broken down. I looked through this whole exhibit to figure out my information and I learned a lot. In conclusion our field trip went very well. HOPE YOU LEARNED A LOT!!!
