This resource turns graphing and comparing into a complete, ready to use review for Grade 9-12 earth science, covering the same idea from three different angles.

Among the ninety questions, students will see prompts such as "If a mineral has a vitreous luster, how would it likely appear?", "How can you determine the hardness of an unknown mineral?", and "What property is measured using a streak plate?"

What's Inside?

• 30 Multiple Choice questions as a separate print ready PDF worksheet
• 30 True or False questions as a separate print ready PDF worksheet
• 30 Short Answer questions as a separate print ready PDF worksheet
• Includes Answer Key with Explanations for all 90 questions
• 6 print ready PDF files, 25 pages in total

All three worksheets cover the same topic in different question styles. That means you can use one as a pretest, another for practice or homework, and the third as a follow up quiz, without students ever seeing the same question twice.
