BRAINSTORMING

Assume you are a mineralogist that discovered a new type of mineral. To inform not only the

academe but also the common people, you are then tasked to make an infographic that

will state its characteristics, properties, and significance (whether economic, health and

scientific). Present these important data through a concept map.

There is more nothing exciting than making some type of discovery. Discoveries can come in many forms

types of discoveries that can be made perhaps the most tactile kind of discovery is in the field of mineral
exploration. Finding the World’s next game changing resource discovery is an interpid pursuit, but its
