What was big idea this week? Summarize the main things that you learned during science lab. Include as many science vocabulary words as possible. This week, you should include why and how we did an acid test.

The big idea in science lab last week was when we did an acid test and tried to figure out which minerals had calcite in them. We knew that because calcite has a reaction to acid and I know that calcite has a mineral that acid effects the rock.

This week in the science lab room 10 studied of the properties of the mineral. For example, we tested the color, the color of the streak, if the mineral is magnetic, and if it has a unique property.

Last week we identified minerals by identifing properties that only belong to them. By using these properties we were to make an educated guess which rock was which.

The big idea for 10/3 was that we did the acid test. The acid test would help us identify and find calcite in rocks.

The main idea of what we learned in science lab was to identify the different rocks. We were doing different tests to see which rock they were. It was really interesting to see what kind of rocks they were.

In the science lab we did a test to see if the rocks we were given had calcite in the it. We put the rock in a vial which had vinegar inside. We closed the lid on the top of the vial and watched what would happen. If the rock made bubbles it had calcite in it. If it didn't bubble it would have no calcite at all. The rocks that did have calcite were the limestone and sandstone.
