Some Simple Rules • • Be ON TIME Do not be absent! Pen AND Pencil! READ DIRECTIONS • There is to be absolutely NO TALKING – If you choose to talk, your exam booklet will be taken from you – You will receive a 0 for the Regents grade – You will have to re-take the Regents Exam in August & possibly have to go to Summer School

What is the Lab Practical? • First part of the Regents Exam • Test divided into 3 stations • Students are given 9 minutes per station

Station 1: Mineral and Rock Identification • Using a mineral identification kit, the student will determine the properties of a mineral and will use those properties to identify that mineral from a flowchart. Using rock identification charts from the Earth Science Reference Tables and the characteristics observed in two rock samples, the student will classify each rock as igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic.
![Mineral Properties • Luster – metallic or nonmetallic—glassy, dull, pearly • Cleavage or Fracture Mineral Properties • Luster – metallic or nonmetallic—glassy, dull, pearly • Cleavage or Fracture](http://slidetodoc.com/presentation_image/2f5b5de57e76e5e01d5a48ec619c2b32/image-6.jpg)
Mineral Properties • Luster – metallic or nonmetallic—glassy, dull, pearly • Cleavage or Fracture – are the broken sides of the mineral semi-smooth surfaces, or non-smooth broken surfaces? • Streak – using white streak plate to see color of powdered mineral • Hardness – using glass scratch plate
