//__**Diamonds**__// //media type="file" key="14.wav" width="300" height="50" Diamonds can be found in: Austrailia,Ghana,Zaire, Russia, USA and Brazil, It's very hard, Rank Numbuh 10 as I say, Diamond comes from the greek word "adamas"// //which means hardest metal, that's how it got it's name. The Romans regarded diamonds with much reverence, fastening it upon the left arm so that the Diamond should touch the flesh, believing it powerful in making it's wearer brave and daring, was considered a charm against insanity. Now you can see how the diamond got it's name and how ROMANS used them.//

__Comments from Teachers during the research process:__


 * Note from Mr. Kleyn. What are the resources (sources of information) you're going to use? Great starting question. Think of three more!

Note from Mr. VanOrden. I like your questions I think you'll find the answers very interesting. I recently used a saw that had diamonds on the blade. Why do you think it would help to have diamonds on a saw?

Note from Mrs. Smith: I had no idea the Romans wore diamonds in battle! You've included many interesting research facts that others studying the diamond did not. It must have taken a lot of time to review the books and research articles so carefully. Nice job!
