Students will compare and rank several mineral samples by hardness as classified through a simple scratch test. They will then match their results to a bar graph that shows the hardness values of four named minerals to identify the samples. This task assesses students' abilities to make simple observations, collect, organize, and analyze and make conclusions from data.
