It is a natural repository for minerals. The ground and surface waters that feed the lake add about two million tons of dissolved solids to the lake each year. The billions of tons of solids found in the lake brine and the salt flats along the shore make the Great Salt Lake the site of the largest mineral deposits in Utah. ===

Students will explore what a mineral is, where they are found in Utah and what minerals are used for. They will construct a scientific explanation of what causes some minerals to be found in Utah while others aren’t and why the minerals found here are not distributed evenly across the state.

Students will plan and carry out an investigation on minerals to look for patterns associated with their color, hardness, streak color and response to magnetism. Students will be able to identify the minerals based on the investigation.

Physical Geology is a comprehensive introductory text on the physical aspects of geology, including rocks and minerals, plate tectonics, earthquakes, volcanoes, glaciation, groundwater, streams, coasts, mass wasting, climate change, planetary geology and much more. It has a strong emphasis on examples from western Canada, especially British Columbia, and also includes a chapter devoted to the geological history of western Canada. The book is a collaboration of faculty from Earth Science departments at Universities and Colleges across British Columbia and elsewhere.

Students will explore a Hyperdoc to understand the Six Basic Nutrients.  Each Nutrient has an article for students to explore, and an EdPuzzle.  Teachers need to be aware they will need to update the EdPuzzle links (these are currently shared links).  From their EdPuzzle account, teachers should get the assigned links to assign the EdPuzzles to their students, and update these in the hyperdoc.
