K.C.: *eyes widen as she goes scrolling through old notifications and notices a dare that she had forgotten to archive and frantically calls the other two over, heart beating fast with guilt* Guys! We have a dare! And it was long overdue! *practically drags them to the Fly Pad*

Freddy: *curiously peers at the Fly Pad, using advantage of his long neck* Looks like it's from @RebekahtheHedgehog

Pip: And it says... *begins reading from the Fly Pad* I dare Pip, Freddy and K.C. to listen to Mr. Parr's Minerals Song 4 times to learn some science and see if they can get it stuck in their heads

K.C.: 4 times? *shakes her head* I'm sorry, but this is way too many for this once chapter. I will have to make that into one time. I hope you don't mind! *smiles sweetly*

Freddy: A song about minerals? *face scrunches up in confusion* What has happened to the internet?

Pip: I would make a geology joke, specifically petrology, but I am im charge of the chapter title and have already included it in there. *clickes his tongue* It is a little foolish of me, though *nods his head absentmindedly* Gneiss and schist aren't really that related to our current topic, but eh *shrugs*

K.C.: *raises her eyebrows* I doubt I would need to learn more science from this *shakes her head with a little sigh of exhaustion* After all, I am older than you two and have studied quite well for an average student, but let's just listen to the song! *gives an enthusiastic smile*

+*+ SONG STARTS +*+

Minerals have special properties
To help identify, observe it
Observe, identify it

K.C.: That's common sense *still has a smile on her face*

Freddy: Hey, this is kind of catchy! *starts nodding his head to the beat*

Pip: Is that autotune? *raises his eyebrows*

These minerals, they're naturally occurring
Inorganic solids, crystal shape
Elements always the same
Minerals

K.C.: 'Crystal shape' may be misleading to some people who has never studied this before but I'll just assume everyone did *starts to lean back a little bit*

Freddy: *starts humming the tune*

Pip: Even if there is a little autotune, it's still good singing *nods absentmindedly*

To classify it as, it must be
Found in the crust, but naturally
But you know it is so, inorganic not plant and trees
Animals once living, minerals then it can't be
A mineral is always solid It has definite volume
And you know that you should know
And here we go
Minerals line up so
Making crystals shape strong
Faces, edges, corners hold
With elements made of atoms
Same chemical and physical
Making composition
But most are made of the minerals
Are made up of a compound
Two or more elements they're no longer alone

K.C.: I'm suprised they didn't mention cleavage with all this crystal bonding forming *eyes widen*

Freddy: *starts to stand up and dance*

Pip: Not a fan of the low volume of the instruments, but I guess this is more on informing than entertaining *gives an empty shrug*

Dissolving in water, melted material
These are the processes that will make minerals
'Cause minerals will form from cooling lava or magma
Inside of the crust on land or forming in water
If cooling happens fast, small crystals they are had
If cooling really slow, larger ones they have
Can form from water solutions, or it's from evaporation

K.C.: Not only from the magma in the mantle, but can also be found in meteors. Actually, it's originally from meteors. But then again it's been a while so maybe I'm wrong *gives a tight smile*

Freddy: *starts singing along to it as well*

Pip: Hang on. *raises his eyebrows* Is this a parody?

These minerals, they're naturally occurring
Inorganic solids, crystal shape
Elements always the same
These minerals, they're naturally occurring
Inorganic solids, crystal shape
Elements always the same
Minerals

K.C.: Oh. They repeated it. *starts nodding her head absentmindedly to the beat of the song*

Freddy: *stands up and stafts dancing as he sings along*

Pip: This is an... interesting song *raises his eyebrows*

These properties
Can help identify and check it
Start with the hardness in fact
Using Mohs scale to rank it
Now we're down to check the color, yeah we checking
An easy thing see many greenish others reddish
Streak test provide a clue to
Identify, observe rub on a plate color alert
The density within can tell the mass of minerals
And check luster-how the light reflects off of it

K.C.: And... solubility, magnetism and cleavage aren't mentioned because...? *bites her lip as she continues listening to the somg, still absentmindedly nodding along*

Freddy: Oh yeah! *proceeds to fly up into the air, having quite trouble flapping his wings in a casual manner that may seem like dancing, but still manages it*

Pip: Is this what animals do nowadays to learn? *clicks his tongue, unsure with how to feel*

K.C.: Oh, there's solubility *bites her lip again* Do I have to say again that some minerals that entered the earth may also have come from comets? I may be wrong though

Freddy: *starts dancing as wildly as he could while flying, shouting the lyrics at the top of his lungs*

Pip: I don't know if this actually helps animals study, but if it does, good for them *shakes his head with a nervous grin*

K.C.: *nods along with the song as she hums*

Freddy: *dancing the most randomly, almost falling down to the ground but saving himself*

Pip: Why did someone even decide to do this? *raises his eyebrows*

Silicates and carbonates
Having hydrogen-halides

K.C.: Ya know, even if organic chemistry is better than inorganic chemistry for me, the types of minerals are always going to be better than polymers and monomers *shudders at the thought*

Freddy: *still dancing in the air and had nearly fallen on top of a baby*

Pip: ... Is there honestly anything else to say about this? *raises his eyebrows*

Now minerals have special properties
To help identify, observe it

K.C.: *nods along to the music while humming again as well*

Freddy: Wah— *finally falls on the ground and picks himself up again, but decides to sit down now*

Pip: Ooh! This is a little different! *eyes widen a little bit*

Having sulfur-sulfides
And phosphorus are phosphates

Pip: *raises his eyebrows* Sounds like common sense to me...

K.C.: Scientists can either be uncreative and use the most obvious of names or make everything extremely difficult to pronounce or remember *bites her lip as she fiddles with her jacket quite impatiently, wanting to do anything but study science again*

Freddy: Hey, at least the song's fun to dance to! *has proceeded to dance standing up, still unsure whether it would be safe to fly while dancing yet*

See, minerals have special properties
To help observe, identify it
Special unique properties
To help observe, identify it

K.C.: This is starting to get a little catchy *bobs her head a little bit to the music with a frown of slight denial*

Pip: I mean, I guess this is good for a song that's supposed to be educational *shrugs with a smile*

Freddy: This is an absolute jam! *starts dancing in the air again*
