1 Event: Judge: Rocks & Minerals Pierre couture Minutes, 3 minutes per station, 13 Stations, samples provided by UWM and Pierre Couture 1-4 Minerals (50 points total) 5-7 Igneous Rocks (50 points total) 8-10 Sedimentary rocks (50 points total) Metamorphic Rocks (50 points total) Station 1 Minerals (10 Pts). What is the definition of a mineral? 5 Pts (Solid, Inorganic, Naturally Occurring, with a Specific Chemical Composition and a Ordered Internal Structure) Answer must contain all of these components. -1 point for each one missed What ore mineral, mined in Wisconsin during the 1800's led to Wisconsin's being nicknamed named the badger state? (Galena. Welsh miners dug holes into the hillsides which looked like badger holes thus earning Wisconsin the nickname, "The Badger State".) (5 pts) Station 2 Minerals (10 Pts, 2 per sample, 5 samples used) Samples will be finalized once actual samples are evaluated for ease of use. Rank the following minerals in order of hardness (Need to get minerals from UWM and place in stations in advance.) 1 Point for each mineral in the correct position. Several options for each hardness to find a good sample. Hardness 1 Talc or Graphite Hardness 2 Gypsum Hardness 3 Barite, Bornite, Calcite Sphalerite, Celestite Hardness 4 Chalcopyrite, Fluorite Hardness 5 Apatite Sodalite Hardness 6 Orthoclase Albite Hardness 7 Almandine, Quartz Hardness 8 Topaz Hardness 9 Corundum
