Ask or Dare T.O.T.S.!

Minerals are Gneiss, not Pieces of Schist. Wait. Wrong Science

K.C.: *eyes widen as she goes scrolling through old notifications and notices a dare that she had forgotten to archive and frantically calls the other two over, heart beating fast with guilt* Guys! We have a dare! And it was long overdue! *practically drags them to the Fly Pad*

Freddy: *curiously peers at the Fly Pad, using advantage of his long neck* Looks like it's from @RebekahtheHedgehog

Pip: And it says... *begins reading from the Fly Pad* I dare Pip, Freddy and K.C. to listen to Mr. Parr's Minerals Song 4 times to learn some science and see if they can get it stuck in their heads

K.C.: 4 times? *shakes her head* I'm sorry, but this is way too many for this once chapter. I will have to make that into one time. I hope you don't mind! *smiles sweetly*

Freddy: A song about minerals? *face scrunches up in confusion* What has happened to the internet?

Pip: I would make a geology joke, specifically petrology, but I am im charge of the chapter title and have already included it in there. *clickes his tongue* It is a little foolish of me, though *nods his head absentmindedly* Gneiss and schist aren't really that related to our current topic, but eh *shrugs*

K.C.: *raises her eyebrows* I doubt I would need to learn more science from this *shakes her head with a little sigh of exhaustion* After all, I am older than you two and have studied quite well for an average student, but let's just listen to the song! *gives an enthusiastic smile*

+*+ SONG STARTS +*+

Minerals have special properties
To help identify, observe it
Observe, identify it

K.C.: That's common sense *still has a smile on her face*

Freddy: Hey, this is kind of catchy! *starts nodding his head to the beat*

Pip: Is that autotune? *raises his eyebrows*

These minerals, they're naturally occurring
Inorganic solids, crystal shape
Elements always the same
Minerals

K.C.: 'Crystal shape' may be misleading to some people who has never studied this before but I'll just assume everyone did *starts to lean back a little bit*

Freddy: *starts humming the tune*

Pip: Even if there is a little autotune, it's still good singing *nods absentmindedly*

To classify it as, it must be
Found in the crust, but naturally
But you know it is so, inorganic not plant and trees
Animals once living, minerals then it can't be
A mineral is always solid It has definite volume
And you know that you should know
And here we go
Minerals line up so
Making crystals shape strong
Faces, edges, corners hold
With elements made of atoms
Same chemical and physical
Making composition
But most are made of the minerals
Are made up of a compound
Two or more elements they're no longer alone

K.C.: I'm suprised they didn't mention cleavage with all this crystal bonding forming *eyes widen*

Freddy: *starts to stand up and dance*

Pip: Not a fan of the low volume of the instruments, but I guess this is more on informing than entertaining *gives an empty shrug*

Dissolving in water, melted material
These are the processes that will make minerals
'Cause minerals will form from cooling lava or magma
Inside of the crust on land or forming in water
If cooling happens fast, small crystals they are had
If cooling really slow, larger ones they have
Can form from water solutions, or it's from evaporation
