The document discusses the identification of common rock-forming minerals using their physical and chemical properties. It lists the 7 most common rock-forming minerals as quartz, feldspar, mica, pyroxene, augite, amphibole, and olivine. It provides details on the color, streak, luster, hardness, cleavage, and crystal structure of each mineral to help identify them. Understanding the physical and chemical properties of minerals is important for identifying the basic building blocks of rocks.

Identify common
rock-forming LEARNING minerals using their COMPETENCY physical and chemical properties. Minerals are naturally occurring, inorganic solid with orderly crystalline structure and a definite chemical composition. These are the basic building blocks of rocks.
Rock or stone is a natural substance, a solid aggregate of one or more
minerals.
Example: granite, a common rock, is a combination of the minerals quartz, feldspar and biotite.
