    Minerals are essential for both technology and human health. They are found in devices like phones, computers, and medical equipment. Some key minerals include copper, used in electronics, and calcium and potassium, which are important for the human body. If minerals were to run out, technology would cease to function and humans would be unable to survive without minerals that support bones, muscles, and other bodily processes.

    SAQ-1: How are minerals important in our lives?

     Minerals is both use for medicines and technology, we used technology nor
    medicine since we were born, and technology such as ultrasonography, blood
    pressure screening, maternal/fetal pulse oximetry, and infusion pumps are all
    the most common technological advances currently available for assessment
    and maternal/fetal care during birth and all of those technology used need
    minerals such as copper and more to make a machine works and also minerals
    are used for medicines such as potassium, calcium and many more to help the
    humans grow and survive and if you didn’t realize it yet take a look in your
    cellphones, laptops, or computers there are all have minerals inside it like
    copper or gold and minerals are really important because it help humans for
    technology and health.
    SAQ-2: Discuss the importance of minerals and give 4 essentials of minerals in the society.

     Aluminum, Barium, Chromite, Coltan, Copper, Dolomite, Feldspar, Gallium,


    Germanium, Gold, Halite, Indium, Iron, Lead, Lithium, Manganese, Mercury,
    Mica, Nickel, Quartz, Silicon, Silver, Sulfite, Tantalum, Tin, Tungsten,
    Uranium and Zinc are commonly used for technology and without minerals,
    technology can’t be possible and minerals are important for your body to stay
    healthy. Your body uses minerals for many different jobs, including keeping
    your bones, muscles, heart, and brain working properly. Minerals are also
    important for making enzymes and hormones.
     Essential minerals that is, those necessary for human health are calcium,
    chloride and many more but in technology copper are essential because are
    used in everything from electrical wiring and also gold are resistant to rust and
    corrosion, gold is the world's most reliable and durable electrical conductor
    Let’s Practice!!!
    Activity set A:
    Household Items Some Minerals needed to produce them

    1. Cake/Bread Phosphates
    2. Fertilizer Nitrogen/Sulfur
    3. Toothpaste Fluorite
    4. Pencil Graphite/Clay
    5. Sugar Lime
    6. Medicines Magnesium/Sulfur
    7. Lipstick ` Calcium Carbonate
    8. Water Lime/Salt
    9. Concrete Iron/Clay
    10. Jewelry Precious Stores
    Activity set B:
    1.
    Resources Differences Examples
    A. Metallic Resources Metallic Minerals are minerals in which platinum group metals, nickel,
    metal elements are present in their raw cobalt, gold, copper, silver and
    form and When metallic minerals are zinc
    melted a new product is formed.
    B. Non Metallic Resources Non-metallic minerals do not contain any Sand, gravel, limestone, clay, and
    metal substances in them and marble.
    Nonmetallic minerals are a special group
    of chemical elements from which no new
    product can be generated if they are
    melted
    2. Other than as jewelry, why is Gold (Au) important to society?

     In fact we have gold in our heart, that’s perhaps they say we have “Golden
    Hearts” and for society Gold are important because we all used gold since the
    beginning from trading and buying and also for jewelry, Gold are used to
    symbolize power, beauty, purity, and accomplishment. Today we continue to
    use gold for our most significant objects: wedding rings, Olympic medals,
    Oscars, Grammys, money, crucifixes and ecclesiastical art.
    3. What will happen if the world will run out of minerals? How will the people survive?

     If mineral ran out like zero supply then we will all die, because salt is a
    mineral in fact, all animal life would probably die without good old NaCl. So,
    despite of the fact that it makes seawater taste awful, and thus hinders modern
    civilization in its thirst for more drinking water... be glad of salt and how
    human survives, it’s like no chance of survival without minerals because we
    live because of minerals, like water or food.
