Homework due 9/30/10:
Create a mnemonic device that will help you learn Moh's hardness scale (softest 1.Talc 2. Gypsum 3. Calcite 4. Fluorite 5. Apatite 6. Orthoclase 7. Quartz 8. Topaz 9. Corundum 10. Diamond hardest).
Mrs. Steele's example: Terrible Giants Can Find Alligators Or Quaint Tigers Conviently Digestible
She would use this mnemonic to remember the order of minerals in terms of hardess, T terrible talc, G
