Gold is found in China, South Africa and many other places. Gold is a mineral and almost always has traces of silver and may also have traces of copper and iron. When the Spanish Explorers came to North America they thought they would find a lot of gold, but they did not find hardly any. You can see that I am interested in gold because people do a lot to get gold.

__Comments from Teachers during the research process:__

Note from Mr. VanOrden - It looks like you have already done some great research to find answers to your questions. Did you know gold is sometimes called a "soft metal." I wonder why that is?

Note from Mrs. Smith: This research is written so well. It's not easy to take pieces of information and put them together to make a clearly written paragraph. Nice job of reading your work, too!
