Minerals In The Morning
In the morning, many young men such as myself, take multivitamins in the morning in order to keep us healthy. By supplementing ourselves with different multivitamins, we can actually be benefited from them, and our performance rates will get better. I make sure to take these pills every morning because they will keep my body healthy. These Multivitamin pills have an extremely high number of minerals in it, that my body can use to keep me going every day, and performing better and better. Another way that multivitamins help me out, is when I don't get all the necessary nutrients in my day that I might need to stay healthy, so, by taking these pills, I can know that they are filling these gaps in my diet, to keep me healthy. Since most adults don't get enough of the vitamins and minerals that they are supposed to be getting each day, these pills can give you the needed vitamins and minerals, making sure that you get all of the needed nutrition. Although these can do great things with you and your body, they can also not do a lot of the things it may tell you. Most multivitamins, and other supplements you can take, usually have labels that tell you what they can do for you. Most say that you will lose weight, be able to have more energy, and work longer. Some of these are true, but know that you won't really be able to tell much of a difference fast, it’s all on the inside. Although these vitamins sound great, you must remember to take them in a routine fashion, because taking these pills at random times, won't do you any good. You’ll need to remember to take them at night, in the morning, one, twice a day, you just need a plan.

Minerals in Running
Minerals are used all the time by runners all over the world. Minerals can be found in clothes; such as running pants, jackets, zippers, shoes, gloves, socks, (almost anything that a runner wears out on a jog, or even in a race!) Copper and Silver are used in running apparel, because they help to kill unwanted bacteria and odors. Zippers on clothing are made of chrome-plated zinc teeth. Some runners, especially those who run at night or in the woods during hunting season, wear bright colors with reflective tape on it so they can be seen. This tape contains aluminum. If you want to be a good runner, you need to stay hydrated at all times. This means drinking lots of water! Water is full of very important minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and sodium. Track and crosscountry spikes are used to grip the ground when running. These spikes are made of metal, plastic, which has talc and calcium carbonate in it, or ceramic which has feldspar in it. Feldspar is also important when making glass water bottles. In relay races there there is a hollow cylinder made of aluminum passed between teammates as they race. Sometimes it it is nice to run with a watch, so you can know how long you have been running. Watches contain many different minerals such as magnetite, goethite, and chromite, which are found in the stainless steel backing on most running watches. Most watches also have small amounts of quartz. The quartz is used to keep the watch more accurate, because it has the ability to maintain a precise frequency standard. It is very important for a runner to get the important nutrients that he or she needs. Most runners enjoy getting these valuable minerals from smoothies. Banana’s which are commonly eaten by runners are full of potassium and manganese. Dairy in a smoothie also contains calcium and iron. Calcium is an important, and abundant mineral in the human body. Lastly, there are many different minerals in a track. For example, underneath the track is asphalt with contains bitumen. The top layer of track material contains iron oxides , and is colored with phthalocyanine pigments containing chromium oxide and ethylene glycol which can be harmful. Minerals are everywhere in a runner’s life!
Toothpaste Has Everything
Minerals are in almost everything. That includes your toothpaste.
Toothpaste has many minerals such Abrasives, silica, fluoride, Mica, and many others.
Abrasives is also used in sandpaper. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /// Mica is the shiny flakes that are in certain types of toothpaste.
The toothpaste tube is made of plastic. The plastic comes from a mineral called petroleum.

About 99% of the mass of the human body is made from six elements: - Oxygen - Carbon - Hydrogen - Nitrogen - Calcium - Phosphorus
!
About 0.85% is composed of five elements: - Potassium - Sulfur - Sodium
! ! ! ! ! Where the minerals are found in the Human Body: Oxygen can be found in water and electron acceptors in a human body Carbon is found in organic compounds are hydrocarbon derivatives. Hydrogen is found in water. Nitrogen is found in DNA and amino acids. Calcium is found in Calmodulin and Hydroxylapatite in bones. Phosphorus is found in DNA and
- Chlorine - Magnesium
Phosporylation. All of these minerals are necessary for humans to
live.
Minerals in sports Minerals in Hockey There are many minerals in the sport of hockey. One mineral found in hockey is in the blade of the skate. They use chrome plated carbon steel, aluminum, titanium, and graphite. Another mineral is in the hockey puck. It is made of sulfur and rubber from crude gum. The helmets are made of carbon fiber, foam and steel.
Minerals in lacrosse There are many types of minerals in the sport of lacrosse. Some of the many minerals are used in the shaft of the stick. It consists of aluminum, graphite, and titanium. The goals are made of PVC and metal. The helmets are made of plastic and carbon fiber as well as steel for the shield.
Minerals in Makeup THERE ARE MORE THAN YOU THINK
Talc, is one of the most common minerals in makeup out there. Talc is a hard substance, but can be ground to a powder. Talc is used in makeups like eye shadow, blush, and foundation. The talc adds to the substance to make it soft, powdery, and easy to apply. It is the reason that the makeup doesn’t clog pores. It allows the substance to be spread on the skin, but lay on top of the skin and not sink into the pores. This has been a very popular mineral, used in many products for this reason. It is usually added to face creams, and other facial substances. Minerals are important to ME: - Knowing what minerals are in my makeup helps me know what I should be using. This now helps me to know what I should buy.
- Talc - Mica - Kaolin - Iron Oxide - Mica - Calcium carbonate - etc.... Colors are one of the most important parts to makeup. Most are made from minerals, but the majority are created by oxides. Without them, there would not be some specific colors. One example is iron oxide, which is used to create the colors red, orange, yellow, brown, and black tones. Chrome oxides create greens, purples, and some blues. Other minerals like titanium are used to make the colors more intense than their natural state. These minerals are what make each individual makeup product special, and they create what people look for in make up. The minerals that create color are by far the most helpful minerals for the industry of makeup. !
Mica is widely used in makeup products like eyeshadow, lipstick, powder, and nail polish. It has been used in these products and many others to create the shine. Mica is resistant to ultraviolet light, and this will protect people’s skin. It is also resistant to heat, this is also helpful for the buyer. Some companies replace the mineral, talc with mica. It is an important part of many companies’ products. It makes the lipstick shine, and nail polish glimmer. It is the cherry on top of the product being sold.
Minerals in Skiing This ski’s core is mostly made out of wood, but some skis have a full foam core, and currently the skis are mostly made out of fiber glass. The outer cover of the ski is made out of carbon fiber. Therefore the outer most side of the ski is not a mineral. But the edge of the ski can vary in metals. Some of the metals include: stainless steel, high carbon steel, 1095 and 12C27.!
! ! !
As you can see most of the boot is made out of plastic. But the boot buckles are made out of a metal; therefore the metal is a mineral. It depends on the boot but nickel, stainless steel, and zinc in rare case.!
! ! ! ! ! !
!
Ski poles are made out of rubber for the grip, nylon/polyester for the pole strap. The shaft of the poles is made out of aluminum, reenforced fiber glass,carbon fiber, and in some cases bamboo. The pole tip is made out of tungsten carbide or stainless steel.!

Bindings are made out of mostly plastic but there is some metal to it. In the toe piece there is a stainless steel aluminum. In the heel piece made out of the same thing.
MINERALS IN THE SCHOOL DAY
GREELY MIDDLE SCHOOL / JAN. 13, 2015
Getting ready There are many minerals that are part of the school day. First, when getting ready in the morning there are minerals such as Feldspar, which makes up the porcelain in the bath tub and the toilet. The towel you use after you bathe also contains both Sphalerite and Chromite, which make up dyes. Also, Fluorite is found in toothpaste, and Apatite is in teeth, and together they give you minty fresh breath. Depending on your transportation to school, you may have come into even more minerals. The battery that makes the school bus or car run has lead in it. Also, the roads could have been made of concrete or asphalt, witch are both made up of minerals such as gravel.
MINERALS INSIDE OF SCHOOL! Once you arrive at school, there are still many minerals. The pencil you take out of your bag contains graphite which makes up the lead inside of the pencil.
Minerals Inside School The computer you use to write your english report contains such minerals such as Wolframite for the monitoring, Copper in the wiring, Quartz in the electronics, and Silver. The closet that hold all of the nurses medicines include Hematite, Chromite, and Quartz. The Hematite is contained in the
hinges and handles. The chrome plating is home to the Chromite, and the mirrors on the inside are made with Quartz. Lastly, the stove in the home education classroom contains minerals such as Chromite in the stainless steel, and Cinnabar that is used to tell what temperature it is burning at.

Minerals in Books
Minerals in books come from the pages, glue, andthe ink.
There are all kinds of minerals found in books. Minerals in books can come from the glue, ink, and pages of the book. Below you will learn about the many different minerals found in the different parts of a book.!
!
Minerals in Book Ink
Many inks are still made by plants and beans for colors but there are still many other inks made by minerals. Colors like chrome green (Cr2O3) and prussian blue (Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3) have large compounds of different minerals. Colors like molybdate orange are made up of lead chromate, molybdate, and sulfate. Black ink is made from carbon black. Also, whiter pigments come from titanium dioxide, and is used to
create the color white or to lighten other colors. Other additives will sometimes be added to change the ink like wax or drying agents.
!
Minerals in Book Pages !
Paper in books is mostly made from trees which aren’t minerals, but there are some minerals that are combined to make paper. The minerals mostly used in making book pages are kaolin, talc, ground calcium carbonate, precipitated calcium carbonate, and bentonite. The more minerals that are used to make paper, the more quickly and fluidly the machine will make the pages of paper. Depending on what characteristics you want your pages to have, changes what minerals you will need to use. For example, if you want whiter paper than normal, you will need to use a certain mineral. If you want the paper to be glossy you
will need to have certain minerals to help you do that also.
! !
Minerals in Book Glue
Most of the products in glue will come from animals, but there are still many minerals in glue. You will generally see gums and adhesives when it comes to the glue for books. Materials like epoxies, caulks, or sealants are compounds that make these types of glue. They are made up of ground calcium carbonates, kaolin, a hydrated silicate crystalline mineral made my hydrothermal decomposition, and calcined kaolin, a anhydrous aluminum silicate made by heat. Talc is also used in making adhesives and is known as the softest mineral on earth. Similar minerals are parts of many parts of books. For example calcium carbonate is in the pages and glue of books
Minerals in Makeup Eyeshadow - Talc a lets the plates slide easily together so it allows the eyeshadow to be easily applied, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resistant to acids, bases, and mostly repels water. - Mica gives the luster to the eyeshadows
Lipstick -Mica which is resistant to gives the luster to the lipsticks -Iron Oxides,Titanium Oxides, Silica, Soy Glycerides are used for glimmer, and they mix the dark shades together which makes the lipsticks natural
Mascara -Iron Oxides and Chrome Oxides are used for making colors in mascara -Silica is used a lot
Blush - Zinc and Silica are 2 of the most common minerals
Eyeliner -Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made up of several or a few pigmented minerals, depending what color/brand is being used
The frame or chassis of a car is made of aluminum or graphite (carbon fiber). It’s usually made of steal, but steal is not a mineral, pure iron is however. Man made alloys, like the ones that can be used to make car frames, are not minerals but do contain minerals. They can contain, titanium, magnesium and occasionally others.
Minerals IN Cars Feldspar and silica is used in glass.
This Audi RS6 Avant has parts made of iron, aluminum and graphite (carbon fiber).
Text
Gallium is used in cercits and LEDs.
Silica is found in tires.
A car’s wheels are made of aluminum or magnesium or steal (which contains iron). Often wheels are made of alloys containing minerals like aluminum, magnesium and iron but are not minerals themselves. A car’s brakes can be made out of aluminum but are usually made of steal which is not a mineral but contains the mineral iron. Both of these cars have carbon-ceramic brakes which are made of a mixture of silicon carbide and a mineral: graphite.
Mica can be found in paint.
Copper is found in the wiring of a car.
Lead and lithium is used in car batteries.

Minerals In Instruments
All Instruments Are Made Of Different Types Of Minerals
Minerals In Woodwinds Flute: The body of the flute is made of either silver, nickel, copper, or sometimes gold. Saxophone: Even though it is a woodwind, the body of a saxophone is made of brass, which is a mixture of copper and zinc. The mouthpieces are made of clay. Oboe: The keys are made of nickel silver, which is a copper mixture of nickel and zinc. Clarinet: Clay usually makes up the mouthpiece and the body of the clarinet. The ligature of a clarinet is often thinly covered in gold, silver, or nickel.
Minerals In Strings Harp: The strings can be made of copper silver or steel, which is a mixture of iron and carbon Guitar: The strings can also be made of steel. With the electric guitar, the steel string vibrations send an electrical current to magnets which are made of iron nickel or cobalt, which then send the current to the amplifier. Violin: Strings can be also made of steel. Cello: Chromium can make up the strings of cellos. Viola: The strings can be made of steel, but then covered in a thin layer of silver.
Minerals In Percussion Gong: The entire instrument can be made of bronze Tambourine: The small rings, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;jinglesâ&#x20AC;? on the outer edge of the instrument are made of brass. Cymbals: If they are high quality, they can be made up bell metal which is a type of bronze that has more copper than the normal bronze, and some iron.
Most brass instruments, like horns, tubas, trumpets an d trombones are made up of brass, which is a mixture of copper and zinc.

Minerals in Artist Paint!
!
Paints used to be dyed with roots, berries and insects. They even used to be made of toxic substances. Now different minerals are used to pigment the paint. ! Clay, Coblat, Fluorite, Iron Ore, Quartz, Silica, and Zinc are some of the minerals used in paint. Clay gives the paint vibrant colors like red, yellow, blue, green, and purple. Coblat is used to make shades of teal and blue. Fluorite is used for making purples and greens. Iron Ores are used for making the paint shiny and can also give the paint a sliver or gray color. Quartz gives the paint a purple pigment or a white pigment. Silica can be used to make a yellow pigment or a white pigment. Finally Zinc is used to make a silver pigment that is also shiney. This is important to me because I love to paint. The vibrant colors are my favorite and minerals contribute to the pigment. With out minerals in the paint the colors wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be as bright. For example Coblat makes the paint bright blue and the Silica makes a bright yellow. Colblat

Minerals in Cars
Electric cars like this one use iron and steel alloys for the body of the car and use iron in the electric engine on the inside. Many of these cars use nickel in the batteries that comes from places all over the world. These minerals usually cost a lot to mine and acquire, this makes the car more expensive to build. Supercars, like the one below, use mainly aluminum for the bodywork and framework because of how light it is. Carbon fibre is used for parts of the body and brakes as well.
Carbon fibre is an artificial crystal made of carbon in very neatly arranged patterns. Supercars also have turbochargers on their engines which use iron and steel found in various ores across the world.
Average everyday cars have steel hub caps and bodies and iron engine blocks. The pipes are usually insulated with nickel. These minerals typically come from whatever country they are made and sold in. This keeps them cheap because not much shipping is needed.
MINERALS IN FIREWORKS

Minerals in Fireworks !
There are many different minerals needed for the various colors of fireworks. Copper is needed for the bright blue, and helps contribute to the other effects afterwards.
In addition to needing copper for blue fireworks, barium is needed for bright green fireworks. For the gold spark effect afterwards, little iron particles and charcoal fillings are needed.
The two colors that are most often seen, red and silver, many different minerals are needed. For red, strontium, and for silver titanium, zirconium and magnesium. !
Most of the income of fireworks come from other countries based on where and what they can mine. Over eighty five percent of the fireworks that are displayed, come from other countries.
The use of fireworks goes back to times in ancient China, and they still grow with popularity. In the past decade, the use of fireworks has doubled to about 30,000 tons of fireworks being used.
For yellows, the mineral used is sodium. For bright flashes and loud pows, aluminum power is the way to make that happen. Many different minerals for different affects, are needed in this process.
Minerals in music.!
To start off, the definition of a mineral is: a solid inorganic substance of natural occurrence
Orchestras, brass bands, and other music stars use instruments that are made out of metal. ! Metal is a mineral that is normally hard, shiny and has a misty type of color. Metal is usually very flexible and that would help with making the instruments.
A snare drum is a drum made out of wood or brass with the drumheads made with calfskin or plastic. ! Plastic is made out of talc and calcium carbonate
Most things in the world are made up by minerals but there are many minerals in music that many people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look into.! Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some info.!
The brass instruments are made up of copper and zinc.! Guitar strings are made out of steal, metal and nylon.! Woodwinds are made out of wood, metal, plastic or some other combination.! Cymbals are also usually made out of spun bronze. !

Minerals Found in Gymnastic Equipment Since minerals can just be about found anywhere, I decided to see if there were any minerals in gymnastic equipment. This includes floor mats, uneven bars, balance beams, and vault, Balance Beams: Balance beams are usually made out of wood with a type of leather covering over it, and or sometimes a suede covering. Some minerals in wood are many kinds of salts, phosphates, carbonates, silicates, oxalates, and sulfates. Some minerals found in mountain leather are Palygorskite, Saponite, Tremolite, Sepiolite, and Actinolite. Since suede is very similar to mountain leather, they have all most all the same minerals in them.
Uneven Bars: Uneven bars are made out of steel and fiberglass with a wood finish. Some minerals in fiberglass are silica or silicates oxides of calcium, magnesium, and boron. Steel is already a minerals so, some minerals found in wood are many kinds of salts, phosphates, carbonates, silicates, oxalates, and sulfates.
Vault: Vaults in gymnastics are made out of just about the same material as a beam, which is wood with a type of leather covering over it, and or sometimes a suede covering. Some minerals in wood are many kinds of salts, phosphates, carbonates, silicates, oxalates, and sulfates. Some minerals found in mountain leather are Palygorskite, Saponite, Tremolite, Sepiolite, and Actinolite. Since suede is very similar to mountain leather, they have all most all the same minerals in them.
Floor (mat): Floor mats in gymnastics are made out of metal springs, and an a rug material that helps the gymnasts not so slip when performing. A minerals in springs are bronze, an alloy of copper. Some minerals in the rug are Calcium carbonate, and limestone.
Minerals in Computers. Many people think that minerals are just found in jewelry and in health pills but,it is all around us.
Minerals in your Home
There are different minerals used in different ways within lamps. There is copper and zinc, which is made into brass which is in the lamp, quartz, which is used in the lightbulb, and finally coper which is used in the wiring of the lamp.
Batteries also have minerals in them, such as graphite, galena, and sphalerite Pencils have the mineral graphite in them, which makes up their lead.
Stoves also have minerals in them. For example, there is hematite, chromite in the stainless steel, galena, copper, and pentlandite.
Even everyday mirrors have minerals in them. Hematite, chromite, gold, and quartz all make up mirrors, just like other minerals make up so many objects we can find in our homes.
Gold in Our Everyday Lives Gold is an extremely important mineral in our everyday lives. Gold is used in everything from computers to agents that preserve our food. Gold is a very highly prized mineral for itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s versatility. All of the worlds gold is valued at 8,500,000,000,000 dollars because there are approximately 160,000 metric tons of gold at about 1,200 dollars per ounce. Gold is an element and a mineral, making it one of only 27 to be both. Gold has been used since 4000 B.C and its uses today are only growing.
The mineral gold is used in dentistry every day. Gold has been used in dental repairs for about 4000 years! About 50 pounds of gold is used by dentists every year around the world.
The majority of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gold goes toward making jewelry. There are about 2,500 metric tons of gold mined annually. About 52% of that is put into making jewelry. If all of the gold on the planet was divided equally, every person on earth would get 5 gold rings! India is the biggest consumer of gold because they are one of the largest countries in the world and because gold jewelry is a big part of Indian culture.
Gold is used in almost every electronic that the world consumes. Electronics have gold microcircuits. Gold is used in keyboards. When you type a letter or anything else the key strikes a gold circuit.
Gold is widely used in the medical field. MRI machines like the one seen above have gold in them and are used all across the country about 30 million times every year! Some drugs also contain gold.

Sodium: Many foods contain sodium. Sodium is important for the body in many ways. For example, sodium balances liquids in the body and is necessary for muscle contractions. Sodium is in tons of things human eat, from vegetables to soy sauce. Table salt is also made of sodium, so every time you put salt on your food, you are consuming sodium.
Chloride:! Chloride is in many of the things that sodium is. Plus it also as some of the same health benefits. Chloride balances liquids in the body, but it also helps stomach acid. Also similarly to sodium, chloride is in table salt. Additionally, chloride is in large amounts of processed foods, meats, breads, and vegetables.

Calcium: Calcium is another mineral that is in foods and beverages. Some of the things that calcium benefits are muscles, bones, teeth, nerves, blood pressure, and the immune system. Many people know that calcium can be found in milk, but many do not know that it can also be found in canned fish with bones, tofu, and greens.
Did you know that phosphorus is in soda pop? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also in eggs, poultry, and processed foods.
Potassium: Potassium is also a mineral in foods and in the human body. It is important because it helps there be a correct equilibrium of liquids. Plus it allows good nerve transmission and muscle processes. Potassium is in meats, milk, crisp fruit, whole grains, and other edibles.
Did you know that sulfur is in the protein molecules of fish, meat, poultry, and nuts?

Makeup Talc: Talc is almost always the first ingredient that you will find in your makeup. Talc minerals lay nicely over each other, allowing for makeup to appear smooth. Talc laying smoothly prevents makeup from invading your pores, but stops airflow in and out of the skin. Talc is usually used in blush, eyeshadow, loose powders, liquid, and powder foundation, lipstick, and occasionally in deodorant. Talc is one of the main ingredients in most drugstore makeup, and is not usually found in expensive makeup.
Powdered Calcite: Powdered Calcite is known to absorb moisture, and is usually added to powders to absorb the oils on your face. The result is a less oily face. Powdered Calcite is also added to liquid foundations so that the oils on your skin wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mix with the foundation and stay in your pores.
Gold in makeup:
Crushed gold is used in makeup today, but is only used in the expensive makeup that you buy at stores like Ulta or Sephora. Gold was used in the ancient Egyptian times. Cleopatra used powdered gold as a form of makeshift eyeshadow, and used charcoal as eyeliner.
Makeup & Minerals
Eyeshadow
Eyeshadow consists of many minerals. One of the importance minerals in eyeshadow, is talic. Talic is a magnesium silicate mineral Talic has been around since 3500B.C. The plates in the talic made an easy glide across, this allows the makeup to be applied easily.
Lipstick
Minerals are also found in lipstick such as mica, iron oxides, Titanium dioxide, soy glycerides, which is for glimmer to mix in order to get dark shades. They also used for healing properties and antioxidants or sunscreen. Everything comes natural most lipsticks contain these products.
Mascara
Mascara also consists of minerals as well, but not as much as other makeup products may contain. The most common mineral in mascara is silica. Silica is a colorless compound that occurs as the mineral quartz. It’s most commonly used in all makeup products.
Face Powder
Face powder are made with the minerals that consists of zinc and silica. Zinc is used in brass also used for coating to protect against rust. There are so many minerals used in our makeup, and what we apply.
Minerals are important to me because, they are used in our everyday lives. We use them all the time. Especially in makeup. When us girls apply makeup, we feel beautiful! That’s because of the minerals that is in our makeup products, what helps us be pretty. When you apply your makeup, think about all the mInerals that were made in the making to all of these products.
Most of us brush our teeth before we go to bed, and it is an everyday thing. But have you ever wondered what is in your toothpaste? Toothpaste is made of minerals that are called abrasives. Abrasives are very effective at scraping the plaque off your teeth, and they are also used in sandpaper.
After a long day, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to turn off the light. Most minerals used in light bulbs are found abundantly in the earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crust. They can be metallic or non-metallic, and some of them are Copper, Aluminum, Nickel and Trona. Many of us use light bulbs everyday, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to think about where the minerals come from, and what they are.
Before bed, it is nice to relax with a hot shower. Some metal shower heads contain chromite, which is a mineral ore. Other shower heads can be made of plastic, and these shower heads would probably contain minerals such as polymeric resins which are very common in a lot of industries today. Many people wash their faces before they go to bed. What minerals help clean out your pores? Most of the minerals in your everyday face wash come from the soil. There are also many important minerals in the ocean that help to revive your skin. Minerals from plants such as rose hips and pomegranates are also used.
Especially during the winter, it is important to moisturize before bed! Magnesium is one of the most common minerals used in lotion. It is also an essential mineral in our bodies. By using lotion with magnesium in it, you are really helping your body, because magnesium is such a vital mineral.

When leaving our atmosphere,spacecraft needs to be built to withstand the drastic changes of the gravitational pull, the temperature, and the force of speed that the ship would be going at to leave Earth. To accomplish these requirements for the ship to be safe, certain minerals have been used to construct this machine so that the variables of space do not affect the astronauts and the spacecraft itself.
What Minerals Make Up A Spacecraft? Some minerals that are generally used in the making of spacecraft are titanium, magnesium and aluminum. Titanium has properties that consist of having great strength,stiffness and a of having a “good corrosion resistance”. All of those properties make titanium a very great resource for building ships that go under extreme measures of pressure and force. Magnesium on the other hand is lightweight but has a density greater than water making it sink when put in water. The mineral magnesium is a good source to use for ships because it is lightweight, but also magnesium does not react with air because it has a thin layer of oxide around its surface so it has yet another property that would come in handy if used in the making of a spaceship. Aluminum is extremely well at resisting corrosion, but is also a soft metal so it would be easy to use in the building of a ship. These minerals are just the common ones usually found in the actual spaceship but other elements are used in the technology on the ships and also to meet the humans basic needs and more. Space Stations have technology that will help them research space like computers. Computers are also made out of minerals. MInerals such as silver, copper, lead, europium make up computers which are generally found on space stations. Also on spacecraft, as a food source, freeze dried foods generally are what the astronomers eat. Minerals found in food like calcium are also found on space ships. Minerals are found everywhere on spacecraft to meet the humans needs and also to help people research about space. Without minerals, we would have never been able to leave our atmosphere in such a successful way that we have. ● ●

If you have ever broken a bone then you have probably had a plaster cast. Casts are made from cast soaked in wet plaster and plaster is made from powdered gypsum.
Thermometers are used to take temperatures of people. Many
thermometers contain mercury. Mercury is a metal, but at room temperature it is a liquid.
When you put a thermometer in your mouth,
the mercury in it expands and shoots up the tube and tells you your temperature.
Kaolinite: Is soft and breaks up easily.
Did you know: Gypsum is easy to shape when wet, quick to harden, and strong and rigid when set.

Minerals in Hockey Minerals in Hockey Sticks Many different minerals are to make up hockey sticks. Minerals like aluminum, graphite and titanium are used in hockey sticks to make them flexible. Without the minerals a plane wooden stick might be to weak a break too easily. Minerals in Hockey Pucks Pucks may seem like they are 100% rubber back they are actually a mixture of sulfur and rubber crude gum to make the rubber pucks. Without the sulfur in the puck the puck would be to soft and harder to handle with a hockey stick Minerals in hockey helmets Hockey helmets have cages that are made up of different metals and minerals. The cages are composed of stainless steel, which is made of iron, nickel and chromium. Without minerals in the cage of the helmet the cage would have to be made of plastic, and plastic would be to weak and easily breakable. Minerals in Hockey Nets The posts of hockey nets are made of only metals. They are made of steel, PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and aluminum. If the the net was not made of these meats the would have to be made of weaker metals or even plastic.
Minerals in Favorite Foods
-Pizza -Hamburgers/Cheeseburgers Okay, Lets start with Pizza... Pizza is a very popular food. It normally consists of sauce, cheese, pepperoni, and multiple other topics, all piled on top of a circular flat dough. Calcium is a mineral in Pizza. In the cheese actually. And in the tomato sauce (which is commonly used for sauce) there are 18 acids with minerals: Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorous, Potassium, Sodium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese and Selenium. The dough pretty much contains the same things.
HAMBURGER TIME! Mmmmm... Doesn't that just look so good? I wish I could just print it out and have it taste just like that. Anyways, Hamburgers/Cheeseburgers have a lot of minerals. In a cheeseburger with ONE single patty and condiments there are 12 minerals. If you include the vitamins and other stuff that make a good cheeseburger, there are 36. Woah. - Calcium - Copper - Iron - Magnesium - Manganese - Phosphorous - Potassium - Retinol - Selenium - Sodium - Zinc Also with a meal of hamburgers or cheeseburgers you may have a side of French Fries, which contain many of the same minerals as cheeseburgers along with Fluoride.
Minerals in Soccer ! The covering of the soccer ball is made of a synthetic material made of mica, salt, lime, and gypsum.

MINERALS IN A PLANT
Elements in a plant
Minerals in a plant Minerals are required in a plants diet. The
There are many minerals and elements in plants but there are only 13 elements in plant nutrition. One of the most important element a plant need for nutrition is Nitrogen. Nitrogen is one of the most important element because it is a part of all living cells and is necessary part of all proteins.Nitrogen helps the plant produce enzymes and metabolic process. Nitrogen is also important because it is part of chlorophyll, which is the green pigment of a plant that i part of the process of you . Another very important element to a plant is Phosphorus. This element is so important because it is a part of photosynthesis which is the process by which the plant makes it own food. It is a part of photosynthesis because it helps with the transformation of solar energy into chemical energy. It also encourages the plant to bloom and to produce more roots. There are 11 other elements that have to do with the nutrients of a plant but these two were the most important.
hardness of the stem is caused by the mineral silica. Along with with this mineral in a plant there is also six more just in the soil that the pant absorbs. These minerals are: flints, potassa, soda, lime, magnesia, and phosphoric acid. The leafs of a plant have very few minerals in them because they mostly consist of water but the few minerals they have is from the sun light and air they are taking in to create photosynthesis. Unlike the leafs the stem has the most minerals because its job is a lot more important. The roots that is attach to the
List of Mineral Elements in a plants nutrients • Nitrogen • Phosphorus • Potassium • Calcium • Magnesium • Sulfur • Boron • Copper • Chloride • Iron • Manganese • Molybdenum • Zinc
stem takes the minerals to the stem which brings them up to the flower or blossom so they can survive. In this process a lot of minerals get absorbed by the plant so there stem stays nice and strong to hold up the plant.

Minerals In Milk A 200ml glass of semi-skimmed milk has over a 1/3 of the daily calcium necessary for an adult. Calcium is a very important mineral that is necessary for strong bones and teeth.
!
Milk is also a great source of phosphorus, the second most common chemical in the human body. Phosphorus is also important for healthy teeth and bones, and for cell membrane structure, tissue growth and maintaining regular levels of pH in the body. One glass of milk will provide a child with half of the daily Phosphorus suggested amount and an adult with 36%
!
Milk contains Iodine too, a chemical that helps form certain hormones. These hormones help maintain a good metabolism. One glass of milk provides almost enough iodine for a child's daly diet and about 44% of an adult.
!
Milk also contains Magnesium witch is abundant in bone and all cells in the body. It is necessary for skeletal development, protein synthesis, muscle contraction and nerve function. One glass of milk will provide a child with 19% of the suggested amount of Magnesium, and an adult with 7.5%.

Jewelry
Gold and silver are some of the most common minerals in jewelry. Also, diamond, pearl and the rest of the birthstones, are used in most jewelry. ha sel lus se d si t so d a le s ften different minerals are used in the expensive jewelry we wear today. Whether it’s a gold necklace or diamond stud earrings, there are minerals in most our jewelry. Gold is a very soft metal that has to be mixed with other metals. In a simple gold chain, there is silver, copper, and zinc. Even the high end stores don’t have pure gold jewelry, the highest they go is 99.7%.#
O
Gold is not the only mineral that is mixed with other substances to create a harder metal. Silver and many more minerals also contain silver, copper, and zinc. #
Most minerals can be put into jewelry, even crystals. Sometimes even crystals are put into jewelry. But this task isn’t easy. It takes quite a long time to form real crystals, so when necklaces with them are made, it is very rare. Obviously more minerals are used in jewelry. Ruby, pearls, rhinestone and more. But some uncommon ones people might not buy everyday are sea glass, Mika, and believe it or not jade isn’t very popular. And many more minerals in the world.

Silver
Why is silver used? Silver is also used for many reasons. It is the number one substance jewelry is made of and it’s not harming to the skin. It is also worth a lot which makes it not only stylish but valuable.
Emeralds
Why are emeralds used? Many people love the green appeal of emeralds. It matches many skin tones and works with silver or gold. When emeralds are used in jewelry no other substance is added to it.
Diamond
Why are diamonds used? Diamonds are the highest of the high. They are minerals that hide deep below the surface of the earth and they cost a fortune.

Minerals in fireworks!
BY: ING NATE ERS OLL
Minerals are what make fireworks so entertaining.
Top image: different types of fireworks with different effects.
TYPES OF MINERALS IN FIREWORKS AND WHAT THEY DO.
!
COLORS IN FIREWORKS
Believe it or not, but all of the many different colors of fireworks are created by a variety of minerals. For example: Greens come from Barium, reds come from Strontium, yellow comes from sodium and blue comes from copper. any other colors that you see are combinations of multiple minerals.
Maecenas pulvinar sagittis enim.
!
SPECIAL EFFECTS IN FIREWORKS
Not only are the colors in fireworks made up of minerals but the dazzling, shimmering, crackling special effects are produced by minerals too. For example iron fillings and bits of charcoal are used to make gold sparks. if you use larger particles the sparks will linger in the sky.

MINERAL COMBINATIONS IN FIREWORKS
In order for these minerals to produce these effects and colors they must be packed into a firework casing. When they are packed, they are put in order that you want them to appear in the sky. this is why fireworks can change colors and effects.

HOW ARE MINERALS USED IN DENTAL CARE? Key Vocabulary WordsApatite Phosphate Gold Mineral Fluorite Cinnabar Rutile
WHAT DO MINERALS HAVE TO DO WITH TEETH?
!
!
There are many kinds of minerals involving dental care and health. For example, apatite is actually in teeth, fluorite is in toothpaste, rutile is used to color false teeth yellow, and gold is used for fillings and crowns along with cinnabar as an example.
!
ONE MIGHT NOT THINK OF MINERALS BEING USED IN THIS WAY, BUT THEY ARE QUITE COMMON AND WELL HIDDEN IN THESE EVERY DAY HUMAN- USING OBJECTS. FLUORITE IS IN TOOTHPASTE AND HELPS STRENGTHEN ONE’S TEETH AND IS USED TO PREVENT CAVITIES. APATITE IS ACTUALLY A PART OF THE TOOTH AND IS A PHOSPHATE MINERAL WHICH ARE ALSO LARGE PARTS OF ONE’S TEETH AS WELL. GOLD IS A VERY COMMON AND KNOWN MINERAL AND IS USED VERY OFTEN CONCERNING FILLINGS OR CROWNS ON TEETH. GOLD IS VERY SOFT, BUT CAN BE MIXED WITH OTHER MINERALS TO CREATE THE PERFECT FIT FOR A SPECIFIC TOOTH. CINNABAR IS LIKE GOLD IN THE WAY THAT THEY PERFORM THE SAME TASK VERY WELL. MANY DENTISTS RECOMMEND HAVING CALCIUM AS A DAILY MINERAL WHERE TEETH ARE INVOLVED BECAUSE NOT ONLY DOES IT STRENGTHEN TEETH AND WHITEN, BUT IT ALSO STRENGTHENS BONE IN YOUR MOUTH AND THE REST OF YOUR BODY.
As shown above, minerals travel in and around the tooth, strengthening it to prevent from cavities or further damage.
The picture above shows a way to strengthen teeth without a natural supply of minerals. Some take these tablets along with the natural minerals to ensure healthy gums, not just teeth.
