Department of Education: Name - Grade/Section - Score

This document appears to be an exam for a class on Earth and Life Science covering topics about minerals and rocks. The exam contains multiple choice questions testing knowledge of key mineral properties like hardness, luster and streak. It also assess understanding of different rock types formed by igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic processes and how geologists classify rocks. The questions address topics like the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, properties of common minerals like pyrite and talc, and how sedimentary rocks provide information about past surface conditions on Earth.
