Today you will use this chart to help you identify some common minerals, “instructed the science Teacher. Each group of students was given three minerals to identify. Lara and her partners were puzzled by one sample. It looked like several minerals in the chart. Raha thought it was calcite. How can the group be sure it is calcite? use the acid test

see if it breaks into sheets

see if it is attracted to a magnet

compare the color to other minerals

Organisms within a population must compete for resources to survive

What best describes emerging scientific ideas

Astudent sees several ants walking up a wall following the exact same trail that an ant took earlier. she wants to apply the scientific method to determine how the ants detected the trail. which of these steps would come first in her application of the scientific method? perform an experiment by cleaning the scent away from part of the trail. draw a conclusion that the ants follow a scent trail. make a prediction about what the ants will do after she cleans away part of the trail. hypothesize that the ants are following a scent trail that the first ant left.
