  • Three dasani water bottles, they are 20 fl oz each.

  • Sedimentary rock

  • Metamorphic rock

  • Water
  • freezer

  • Place the three different rocks into three separate containers. Make sure the containers are equally filled with water.  (Fill the dasani bottles to the top, this should be about 20 fluid oz each.)

  • Place the three containers in the freezer

  • Take them out when frozen, thaw them out, note any changes, then replace them

  • Repeat step three 2-3 times.

The igneous should take the least damage because it is welded together.]]> 2017-06-05 15:12:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jm28880/o5vcjknlt2if/wish/175228358 Purpose jm28880 https://padlet.com/jm28880/o5vcjknlt2if/wish/175402121 I did this project to understand the effects of freezing on rocks. It could be helpful if I needed to protect against erosion of rock, like on a cliff or a natural wonder, or just the brick of you house or a stone wall. It was also a very interesting topic.]]> 2017-06-06 14:41:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jm28880/o5vcjknlt2if/wish/175402121 Results jm28880 https://padlet.com/jm28880/o5vcjknlt2if/wish/175403482 The weirdest thing happened. When I looked up the project to do some research, the people had different results than mine. Only a few people got my results. Rare occurrence?

    My metamorphic rock crumbled. It was clearly identified as a metamorphic rock, being Quartzite.
    Maybe specific metamorphic rocks take the most freezing damage, and some take less. As predicted, the igneous took little to no damage, my sedimentary had some small cracks running through it.

    • Maybe I rushed the experiment
    • Maybe different types of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rock behave differently in this experiment. 
    • Maybe I messed up my variables, like I changed too many. Or too little.

My Igneous rock was the rock that took the least amount of damage by freezing. But maybe it takes the most damage in eroding or weathering? I don’t know.]]> 2017-06-06 14:49:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jm28880/o5vcjknlt2if/wish/175404033 Bibliography jm28880 https://padlet.com/jm28880/o5vcjknlt2if/wish/175404831 Thanks to...
