6. Angela found a pretty stone in the park near school. She wasn’t sure if it was
a rock or mineral, so she took it home to try some tests. Below are the
observations she wrote in her science notebook.
DATE: January 15, 2012
PLACE FOUND: Larkey Park
OBSERVATIONS:
1. About the size of my fist
2. Several colors: brown, black, tan, and white pieces stuck together.
3. Black parts were scratched only with a paper clip, and brown parts were
scratched by a penny.
4. It weighs 250 g.
5. When I test it with vinegar, only the white parts fizz.

Scratch Test Directions
2.1.e
1.
Place the mineral on the table.
2.
Hold it steady with one hand.
3.
Try to make a scratch on it with a
testing tool.
4.
Brush off any dust.
5.
Observe the mineral with your
hand lens.
6.
If there is a scratch and it doesn’t
rub off, you have found the
mineral’s hardness.

Hardness is the “scratchability” of a mineral. Geologists use a numerical scale
called Moh’s scale to help identify and rank minerals according to their hardness.
The scale was developed in 1812 and is still used today. Just remember that as
your students “scratch” their mineral samples, scratches cannot be rubbed off the
mineral’s surface. A true scratch is a permanent mark.
