There are 5 steps to take in mineral idenfication, they are: \n\nStep 1 \nDetermine the luster (metallic or nonmetallic) of your mineral. \n\nStep2 \nDetermine the hardness of your mineral. Using a glass plate, see if the mineral scratches it. Be careful, make sure the glass is on a table, do not hold in your hand. Firmly grasp your mineral and draw it over the glass. If the mineral powders, then use your fingernail to feel if the glass is scratched. \n\nStep3 \nDetermine whether your mineral is light-colored or dark-colored (nonmetallics only). \n\nStep4 \nDetermine whether your sample has cleavage. \n\nStep5 \nYour choices have been narrowed down, using the chart see which physical properties match up with your mineral.

I'm a geologist who has taught geology and earth science at the high school and college level. Why do you ask? \n\nYou can find most of my answers over in science and math, and in earth sciences. I'll be happy to watch for your questions and help if I can.

Search for your teacher's name.  Put it in quotes.\nIt might also be helpful to include the school name in the search.

Go in for help.  My HS science teacher was a bastard until I spent before and after school getting help for physics.  When he saw I wanted to learn and not just be given answers we got along a lot better.  He gave me a great letter of recomendation the next year that helped get me into college.\n\nAlso ask him what his degree was in.  Some HS teachers have a BS/BA in earth science and are teaching chem.  Some are just plain over their head.  Always be polite, and make it known you want to learn.

Your chemistry teacher is an opinionated snob.  \n\nSome of us like to read other people's opinions and questions just like reading newspapers and other publications.  Ok, it's light reading, but you can still learn from it.\n\nAlso, many of the questions and answers are interesting, and give us the opportunity to actually help others with our own "professional" advice.\n\nI've met many "educators" like your teacher, those that believe that they have a monopoly on the proper way to live, learn, and feel.  I believe that he has been in the lab too long, and needs to come out to see what is really going on in life.\n\nBut that's just my opinion.

If you thank her in person that's all that is necessary or that she probably expected.  She seems like a nice teacher, enjoy her class.   There are lots of teachers out there who are bitter and lifeless and probably should have retired long ago, consider yourself lucky to have found a good one.

Hm... well, I have a teacher that I really don't like at all right now.  But yeah, you should like reword your question and use correct grammar.  It would probably help you to get more responses to your questions.  Just a friendly suggestion!  :)

maybe what your teacher is trying to say here is the body temperature. now search for that answer. it's your homework.

I think my favorite teacher was my ninth grade English teacher, Mr. Felix (yes, that was his last name).\n\nThe very first day of class, we hit it off, because as he was speaking he asked the class an off hand question:  "Who said, 'let them eat cake'?"\n\nThe class sat there silent for a few seconds.  I raised my hand and gestured for me to speak.\n\nWhen I told him the answer, he asked what I name was, and he said.  Good answer.  I'll be watching you.\n\nHe then went on to tell the class about his "non-negotiable zero" policy:  If you had an assignment due on a certain date, and it was not on his desk at the start of class, you got a zero - and it was non-negotiable.  The only excuse for missing the deadline was a death in your family -- YOURS!\n\nI loved it when all the prissy girls (I won't mention what we called them back then) would whine and try to charm Mr. Felix into granting an extension.  He never did.  I respected him a lot for that, because I wasn't one of the people who whine for a grade, and I resented it when girls (well, mostly girls) got away with that.\n\nHis policy got me once though.  He gave an assignment, and it was due a week later.  I procrastinated all week until the day before the due date.  Then I got quite sick.  I blew off the assignment, and missed class the day it was due.\n\nThe next day, when I came in, he asked me if I was feeling better.  Then he asked me where my assignment was.  When I told him I didn't have it, he said "you understand I'm going to give you a zero."\n\nI told him that I understood.\n\nIn giving me a zero, he taught me that I had all week to do the assignment, and an illness on the 6th day was really no excuse.\n\nI went back to my old school a few years later and paid him a visit.  We talked for a few minutes, and I never saw him again.  \n\nHe's certainly retired by now.

We live in a complex universe.  Hopefully you will one day get a good teacher who knows how to explain it in a way that makes it easier.

I'm so sorry for your loss.  When my dad died, I was comforted by the fact that he joined the "great cloud of witnesses" in heaven and that he could see me and cheer me on.  I'm sure that your popo would like to see you succeed in your life.  Think of him each day in a positive way and work to make him proud.  Remember the good times and focus on the good memories.  Ask your teacher(s) if there is any way you could do some extra credit to bring your grades back up.  You can do this -- one day at a time.

Of course, you silly boy.  How else could you explain your really, really, REALLY old teachers?  It's scientific fact, that these older-than-dirt-teachers are living proof dinosaurs once roamed the earth.  ... such a silly boy.
