Station 1- In this portion of the lab we were asked to look at a rock which had contained pores then to sketch it out. Then we had looked at videos where these rocks had come from which is the ocean.
Station 2- We were first asked to rub the pieces of sandstone which when you did they had started to fall part very easily. Then we had learned a new vocab word which was friable and means that they fall apart easily. so then we had to compare the rocks and use the new vocab word.
Station 3- We had to observe 3 samples of sandstones. Then we had to refer to the book in order to find out the difference which ended up being the cementing agent and the book went on to tel us that the hardest one was the calcite.\
Station 4- We had to measure the size of the grains of the different kinds of samples and compare all 3.
Station 5- We had to use a magnifying lens in order to compare the sand grains of the sandstones. Then we had to describe the areas where sandstone is formed.
Station 6- At this station we observed a rock which had a wave like motion on the side of it. In the end we end up finding out that it was in the water and that was from a lot wves hitting it over a long period of time.
Station 7- Here is where we compared rocks to actual sand grains and then we had to put what type of environment the rock was in.
Station 8- Here we compared peat and coal. These 2 rocks had sort of looked similar bu they both had different masses. Then later in the lab we had to talk about the worlds largest consumers and producers of coal.
Station 9- In this lab we had to compare 4 different rock types by saying the physical description, environment, and formation.
Station 10- there was a cylinder filled with different types of sediments and water. then you had to shake it up then see which sediment was on the top. you had to say what type of sediment grain size and if there was layering or not.
Station 11- Here is where fossils were talked about and one kind in particular which was bioturbation.
Station 12- This is another station which describes fossils but this one goes in depth about the cast and mold type of fossil which is when an imprint of a plant or animal is left behind.
Station 13- This station starts out with asking a question of is the thing in front of you a plant or an animal. Then you go more in depth to find t=out that it is a crinoid an animal that is found in corral underwater.
Station 14- Next you had to look at a rock and describe it then you find out what type of an environment that the sediment is deposited in, then you check if it reacts to HCl which it does react with, finally you come to the solution that it is a brachiopoda.
