Data

 media type="file" key="calcite 7.AVI"This is where you can "show and tell" about your notebook entries:

 =In Investigation 1.2, we had to take rocks apart to find out about their ingredients. Here are some of our observations: = Michelle 201 - I noticed that when we were breaking rocks apart, the minerals inside it looked like the chips in a chocolate chip cookie. Marvin 201 - I noticed in my observation that a white mineral looked like a vampire tooth. Jose 201 - I noticed that when I was separating my Mock Rock, I found a piece of white rock that looked like a piece of shell.

After we separated the ingredients and added the sand to vials and then used a syringe to put in 20ml of water into the vials. We shook the vials and let it settle for a few minutes. Some of the things we noticed were: Michelle 201 - Today, there was a different color sand at the bottom of the vial. Marvin 201- There were 5 layers - sand, white, darker white, water, and bubbles. The sand settled, then there was a little white watery sand next and then there was a huge part of water and a little on the top there was a layer of bubbles.

=Investigation 2.1 Oberving Minerals - This is where we are explaining our claims and evidence about observing minerals. =

We can't identify a mineral by only its color because in our group there were three minerals with the same color. It might get confusing for you. - Elva ====== 

Geology Greetings fellow scientists! Hello from 307! Today and yesterday we had AMAZING science information! Our data showed us that by scratching rocks, we can FURTHER investigate rocks and minerals! We found out that softer rocks are EASIER TO SCRATCH and harder ones are HARDER TO SCRATCH. We also found out from our data that bubbles mean there is CALCITE HIDING in the rock! So cool!

 = Investigation 3.1 Calcite Quest - video data from 201 for all of you student-geologists to see and comment on! Tell us if you observed the same things as we did in your investigation. We'd love to hear from you! = = = =  = =  media type="file" key="calcite2.AVI" media type="file" key="calcite3.AVI" media type="file" key="calcite 4.AVI" media type="file" key="calcite 5.AVI" media type="file" key="calcite 6.AVI" media type="file" key="calcite 7.AVI" media type="file" key="calcite8.AVI" media type="file" key="calcite9.AVI" media type="file" key="calcite 10.AVI"   = = data update from 307:  = = In the TAKE IT FOR GRANITE experiment, our data proved that granite was the ROCK and the others were MINERALS. How did we find this out? To get our DATA, we used what we already learned about geology! We did scratch tests, observed properties and write the data down! It was so much fun! = =   = =     = =   Room 309 also discovered that the granite was the rock, and feldspar, mica, quartz, and hornblende were all minerals. Wasn't it cool how we used the scratch test again to figure out that the granite was a rock? = =  = = =
