ReplyDeletesome o fthe thing we use around the house are tungsten hwich is used for light bulbs and pens and paper.silver which is used in film and batteries. clay is used in pots and stuff.and granite is used in paints and pencils.
ReplyDeletethe minerals that we use every day are copper for pennies. and alunimum is for pots and pans to bulid a house you need clay and cement also zinc for nails so they will not rust and quartz for windows and plasterboard for walls.
ReplyDeleteDrew and Anthony. Drew did it all!!!!!
clay (bricks for houses),iron(for nails),tungstun (for light bulbs),nickel (rechargable batteries),gypsum (plaster casts), and Kaolinite (for medicine).
ReplyDeleteI didnt realize that i used alot of these on a daily basis.
Some materials that contain minerals that we use everyday around the house are: Light bulbs= Tungsten.Pens/Paper= Tungsten. Tungsten is very strong,rigid,high melting point,and impermeable which makes it good for the use of lightbulbs and pens/paper.
ReplyDeletePaints/Pencils=Graphite.Graphite is soft,opague and easily powdered.
Film/Batteries=Silver.Silver salt reacts to light.Thats why they use silver in filming.
Flower Pots=Clay.Clay is easy to shape when wet,strong and rigid when fired and impermeable when fired.Thats why we use clay for flower pots.
we use Wolframite and scheelite for lightbulbs. we use tungsen and scheelite ores for pen and notebook paper. we use clay and a mineral called graphite for a pencil.
ReplyDeleteClay is mixed with limestone and other minerals, including one called gypsum that is added to help the cement harden.

ReplyDelete@ Ethan:
ReplyDeleteWhy do you think people use tungsten for paper?
Also how do you tihnk they get the minerals in the paper??
Everday we use washers, toothpaste, and cars for transportation. All these things we do everyday use minerals. I never realized clocks, jewelry and computers were all made of minerals. We wouldn't have most of the things we have today if it weren't for minerals. Minerals in your kitchen are like, spoons, forks, knives, mugs/cups, plates, and glasses. Minerals are used to help make you healthier if you are sick. For health and medicine; thermometers for seeing how high your temperature is when you are sick, plaster casts for when you break a bone, kaolinite is a clay mineral for a liquid medicine and also mercury is used for when you get fillings at the dentist. All of these tings are minerals that we use in everyday life.
ReplyDelete---->From Alexandra and Megan Sheridan<------
I use tungsten and graphite and all kinds of other minerals like that at every day! We use:
ReplyDelete-Lightbulbs which are made of tungsten. it's properties are that it is hard and has a very high melting point.
-Pens and Paper are made from tungsten aswell. The properties for these things is it is strong, rigid and impermeable.
-Paints and pencils which is made from a combination of clay and graphite which is a type of carbon. the properties of these are that it's soft, easily powered and opaque.
These are just some of the things we use everyday at home. i never knew that all these minerals are in so much that i use all the time.
rachel, i didnt know that you use a mineral called tungsten for a lightbulb.

ReplyDeleteWithout minerals, we wouldnt have any of the transportation ways like cars,trains, or planes. In buliding a house the bolts, nuts, nails, and screws are made from metal. The bricks and tiles are made from clay which is also a mineral which are used for the walls and floor. Plaster are made from powdered gypsum is heated and then mixed with water, The pipes made from lead, and Windows are made from glass.
ReplyDeleteyes brendan you are right that every thing on YOUR LIST is correct. even the batteries are correct except im not sure about light bulb but good job
ReplyDelete@ Alexandra:
ReplyDeleteI never knew that clocks,spoons,forks,knives,plates,
glasses,and mugs all have minerals in them.
What minerals are in them?
Hailey, while reading your artical wdid it tell you anything about how you coulds shape light bulbs? because if it has a high melting point how did they shape it so thin for light to pass though?

ReplyDeletedrew, aluminum is not only made for pots and pans thier are a bunch of things it is made from
ReplyDelete@ Rachel:
ReplyDeletethat's a good question: how do they get the mineral in the paper? and is tungsten is the only mineral
they use to make paper? i wonder why they use tungsten to make paper too. maybe they've used other minerals in the past and tungsten just works best.
Drew i didnty know that alunium iss used to make pots i thought it was clay. ted young the car one from me.

ReplyDeleteBrendan Mcwilliams
ethan: what do you think ur wworld would be like without these minerals. i believe our world has came a long way these past through years and i thin k we will continue to find and create more.
ReplyDeletei agree with sean all thow he copied and pasted and cheating is not allowd so go ahead and cheat it will come back and bite you later then spit you back out
ReplyDeletesean l, i didnt know that they put coal in coke. i mean i cant even taste it let alone want to.
ReplyDeleteBrendan Mcwilliams
Hailey- I didnt know that tungsten was used in pens&paper, and lightbulbs, it doesnt seem like they have much in commen, do they have more minerals in them that are different?
ReplyDeletedid you know without minerals you couldnt do, Without them there would be no cars, trains or planes. You wouldn't be able to clean your teeth or wash your clothes. Clocks, watches and jewellery, tin cans and aluminium foil and you are using minerals right now on your computer
ReplyDelete@ Sydney, what is tungsten and what else is it used for?
ReplyDeleteWe use minerals everyday. We use minerals for everything. Here are some examples of minerals in the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteMetal for our silverware.
Salt
Drinking glasses
Pots and pans
Soap
These are some household items that have minerals in them.
-George McFarren Adam Lyons
@ deborah:
ReplyDeleteim not really sure how they shape light bulbs since tungsten has the hightest melting point of all metals. what the website told me is that since light bulbs get very hot tungsten is a great metal to use for them since they high melting point. they use tungsten in the filament in light bulbs. the filament is the threadlike conductor.
I agree with Ethan Mercurio
ReplyDeleteSome materials that contain minerals that we use everyday around the house are: Light bulbs= Tungsten.Pens/Paper= Tungsten.
ReplyDeleteTungsten is very strong,rigid,high melting point,and impermeable which makes it good for the use of lightbulbs and pens/paper.
Paints/Pencils=Graphite.
Graphite is soft,opague and easily powdered.
Film/Batteries=Silver.
Silver salt reacts to light.Thats why they use silver in filming.
Flower Pots=Clay.
Clay is easy to shape when wet,strong and rigid when fired and impermeable when fired.Thats why we use clay for flower pots.

i agree with you hailey
ReplyDeletejordan harbour
@ brendan i think you need a little more of a list of minerals.
ReplyDeleteThe kitchen has many minerals. Cutlery, such as forks, knives and spoons, is usually made of stainless steal. Stainless steal is made of molten iron mixed with another metal called chromium. Crockery such as plates, bowls, cups, saucers and mugs are made of clay minerals. Drinking glasses are usually made of quartz. Pots and pans are made from metal such as,stainless steel, cast iron, copper or aluminium. Cans and tins are made of aluminium. Cleaning products are made of minerals such as, clay minerals and calcium carbonate. Another mineral commomly found in the kitchen is salt its mineral name is halite.
ReplyDeleteMaterials used everyday:
ReplyDeleteLight Bulbs: Tugsten
Paper: Clay, Mica, Talc, Bartye
Pencils: Clay, Graphite
Film and Batteries: Silver
Pots: Clay
We agree with Rachel.How do you think they get minerals in paper.Do the grind then up?
ReplyDeleteAbby Bacher&Jordan Malsbary
it shoul be them
ReplyDeleteI agree with Deborah because I never knew ow many of the common things that I use everyday were made of minerals.
ReplyDeleteWe use many minerals around the house, but what are they? Some things we use in the house are lightbulbs which use tungsten in them. Tungsten is a metal, wolframite and scheelite are the main ores of tungsten.
ReplyDeleteWe also use pens and the tips of a pen are also made of tungsten, and the main ores of them are wolframite and scheelite.
In a house we may use paints and pencils which are called lead pencils, it isn't really lead they actually are a mixture of clay and a mineral called graphite which is a form of carbon.
Many things in a house use batteries which is made of nickel the minerals that make that are called garnierite and Pyrrhotite and pentlandite. This minerals are what help make nikel which is what bateries are made of.
When it comes to gardening we use clay minerals to make flower pots that can hold our flours.
We use minerals everydat around the house, and sometimes we don't even know it. I am amazed how many different types of minerals we actualy use in a house.

And those are just some of the materials that we use in our everyday lives.
One of the minerals we use every day is tungsten it is used in light bulbs, they tungsten since it has a very high melting point so it won't melt inside the light bulb. Quartz is around us, quartz is used in silicon chips which is used in computers look i'm around quartz right now since i'm using a laptop.
ReplyDeleteQuartz-Computers
Tungsten-Light Bulbs
Stainless Steel-Cutery

I agree with Stephanie O'Leary:
ReplyDeleteBecause some of the thing we use around the house are tungsten which is used for light bulbs and pens and paper.silver which is used in film and batteries. clay is used in pots and stuff.and granite is used in paints and pencils.
I agree with Brendan McWilliams paper is made by a bunch of minerals like clay, mica, talc, maryte. Ther are minerals all around us.

Building a house: Metal is used to make nails and screws. Clay is used to make bricks.Bricks and Tiles are also maed out of clay.
ReplyDeleteIn The kitchen:STeel make silverware such as knives, forks and spoons. Plates, bowls and cups are made from clay minerals. Even drinking glass has quartz in the cup.
Around the home: Tungusten is used to make lightbulbs.Tungsten is strong and has a very high melting point.
Pens couldnt go to paper without tungsten, the wrtiting tip is made out of tungsten, a strong maetal, which comes from wolframite and scleelite ores.
ens and Paint, lead pencils dont contain lead instead it is a form of carbon or a mixture of clay and graphite
Also Flower pots and film need minerals.
@ Rachel Royer pencils and paint is actualy graphite mixed with clay to make a form of carbon

I didn't know gold was used in electronics. I didn't know batteries had nickel. I thought pencils had lead, not graphite.
to everybody :
ReplyDeletemost of us said the same things in our houses and they are all correct so thats good.
~kristin murphy<3
@ Yahanz:
ReplyDeleteI didn't know they used tungsten for paper and pencils! That's crazy. That's the same material used for lightbulbs! I wonder why they decided to use that?
Adding to Ben McGinnis, Graphite which is made with pens and pencils is graphite it is that now because lead was very dangerous
ReplyDelete~Charles Freudemann~
To Tyler Day: I never knew that they used quartz in computers. Did you know that?
ReplyDeletecommon minerials are batteries which are made of silver. pencils which have graphite in them. pots and pans which are made of clay. those are some everyday minerials that we use.
ReplyDeleteI agree with ethan mecurio because he had a lot of the same things i did.
ReplyDeleteSome common things that contain minerals around our houses are:
ReplyDeleteLight bulbs-made of tungsten (kind of like glass)
Pens and paper- also tungsten which comes from wolframite and scheelite ores.
Paints and pencils- Graphite, which is a form of carbon.
Film and batteries- Silver, argentite and other silver materials.
Flowerpots- Clay. It comes from the ground usually near creeks and rivers. It is soft and easy to shape.
Silver like film. Flower pots are from clay. Also bricks are from clay. Paint and pencils are made from graphite. Light bulbs and pens are made of tuggsten.
ReplyDeleteThe pen tips are made out of tungsten. A common mineral is found in batteries which is silver.
ReplyDeletePencils are made of graphite. Gold is used in electronics as a conducter. The silicon in quartz is used in computers. salt is used in washing powder. Flourite is used in toothpaste. Talc is used in talcum powder and cosmetics. Thermometers use mercury. Plastr casts use gypsum.
I didn't realize that Cutlery was used in so many things in a kitchen like forks and knifes.Crockery is used in cups bowls and plates.quartz is used in drinking glasses.Fluorine is used for non stick pots and pans. Cassiterite is used for cans and tins.salt is a mineral itself you eat slat almost everyday.
ReplyDeleteEthan I didn't know that two minerals like tungsten could be used in making a light bulb and pen and paper.
ReplyDeleteKristin Murphy I agree with you. everyone almost has the same awnser. I think we all deserve an A+.

ReplyDeleteI agree with Ethan that pots are made out of clay
ReplyDeleteAndrew Hudson
The minerals that I use every day in the kitchen is Cultery(forks, knives, spoons etc.) They are made of stainless steel. Stainless steel is strong, rigid, hard, and does not rust. Another is Pots and Pans. They can be made from; metal, stainless steel, cast iron, copper or aluminum. Even the non-sticking coat is made from fluorine. These minerals are strong, imperable, does not rust, and conducts heat. The tips of pens that we use are made from tungsten. Tungsten is strong, rigid, and imperable. There are so many things that I/we all use everyday that we don’t know are minerals.
ReplyDelete@ Sara Dirr it is weird to think that whenever we eat we are eating off of minerals and steel!
Tooth Paste~fluorite, quartz, mica, and titanium.
ReplyDeleteLight Bulb~ Copper, Nickel, Molybdenum, and Trona.
Glass~Silica, Limestone ,Soda Ash
TV~ quartz, wolframite, chromite, and quartz.
Cheese~Calcium,Phosphorus,Lodine, and Sodium.
Pencils~Graphite
we use minerals every where like toothpaste have silica and limestone, vases or pots use clay, and light bulbs have Tungsten in them.
ReplyDeleteEveryday I use different minerals like tungsten, graphite, silver, clay, and fluorite. I didn’t know that light bulbs are mad of tungsten. Also that batteries are made out of silver. Building a house: bricks and tiles- clay, cement- gypsum, plasterboard- gypsum, nuts, bolts, nails and screws- steel, plumbing and wiring-copper, windows- quartz, and finishing touches- house numbers- chormium.
ReplyDelete-Kaleigh McCarthy
wow rachel you put some of the items that i put for my answer. do you think there are minerals in things like soap, candy, or fruits. like an orange it uses vitamin c if thats even a mineral which im pretty sure it is.
ReplyDeleteI use windows everyday to look outside. I didn’t realize that we had so many different minerals around us. One is quartz. I didn’t know that windows are made out of it and is even used in a house.
ReplyDeleteBuilding a House-bricks, cement and tiles are made from clay; plasterboard is made from gypsum; nuts, bolts, nails and screws are all made from iron; plumbing and wiring are made from copper and plastic but used to be made from lead when we didn’t know it was poisonous; windows are made from quartz and house numbers are made from chromium.
@Sara Dirr
I didn't know that forks, knives and spoons are made out of steel. I thought that it was just used in construction and stuff but I never thought you would use it to eat. Did you know that steel was used for stuff like this before we did this activity?
gold is found in south africa, u.s.a, austrailia, brazil, canada, china, and russia. not done im doing it when i get home.
ReplyDeleteThe minerals/things that I use everyday are spoons and forks, Lightbulb, pens/paper, paints/pencils, and pots and clay. Those were just some that I use every day. Some things that we don't notice are the copper pipes in houses(not all houses have copper pipeing), even in fodd there are minerals. For example, iron is in legumes, whole grains,potatos, egg yolk, cocoa, green vegetables, and dried fruit. Thats just iron there are a lot more minerals in food and other things that we don't know are there.
ReplyDeleteSydney is right people use minerals every day and doin't realize it. If people knew what was in it some wouldn't eat the food they like because there are rocks in it, but you really don't notice it. Do you ever stop to think before you eat or use something what's in this food or pencil that I'm useing?
ReplyDeletesome minerals that we use everyday are:
ReplyDeletetungsun- lightbulbs
Graphite- pencils
Silver-batteries,gewlery
i agree with stephine o"leary, graphite is also used for stuff like paints and pencils
ReplyDeleteTo Jarod Francis:

I went on In the Kitchen and found out:
ReplyDeleteStainless steel is made from Magnetite, Goethite, andchrtomite
Kaolinite- is a clay mineral used to make crockery
Glass- made from Quarts sand
@ ethan mercurio You have alot of information i never knew all the stuuf we use in our every day lives had all these minerals. Did you?
ReplyDeleteFor cutlery they use stainless steel. stainless steel is made of molton iron with another metal called chromium which stop the metal from rusting. iron and chromium are minerals.cockery use clay.drinking glasses are made of glass and quartz. pots and pans are made of copper and aluminum.

I clicked on health and medicine and this is what I found out:
ReplyDeletecasts are made from bandanges soaked in wet platser. this mineral is called gypsum.
the same thing with thermometers. the liquid mercury expands at room temperature sending it up the tube its held in. mercury is also used in dentisry.
kaolinite is a clay material that is sometimes added to medicines you swallow and in lotions that you sometimes put on your skin.
One of the minerals we use every day is tungsten it is used in light bulbs, they tungsten since it has a very high melting point so it won't melt inside the light bulb. Quartz is around us, quartz is used in silicon chips which is used in computers look i'm around quartz right now since i'm using a laptop.
ReplyDeleteQuartz-Computers
Tungsten-Light Bulbs
Stainless Steel-Cutery
Fluorite-Tooth Paste
i agree with Sydnay there is tuscun.
ReplyDeletethere are many minerals that are used in our homes every day. some like:
ReplyDeleteTungsten: light bulbs,pens, and paper
Graphite:paints and pencils
clay:dishes, pots, cups, etc.
silver:batteries, film, jewlery
The most common uesed items that you use in a room every day are; light bulbs, paper and pen/pencil, batteries and movie film, pots, and finaly clay. Those are items that people ues every day.
