Geologists Look For Calcite!

Student teams observe and record properties of four types of rocks.
marble * limestone * sandstone * granite




Next, student teams check for the presence of calcite (the most 
common mineral on earth) by placing each rock in a vial and 
adding 25 mL of acid (vinegar).

Ask a third grader how geologists know if calcite is present?
