Purpose:
The purpose of this experiment was to learn more about Earth science. To also learn about silicate, how it works and where is it found.
We talked about the earth's core and levels of the earth. We talked about the magnetic field and how Mars use to to have one but it was stripped by the solar waves, Also we learned about silicate and how it mixes with metal. With mixing it with metal, elements that are further react first. We were also told that the periodic table does not need to be memorized you just need to know how to read it.
Core- solid iron and nickle
Outer core- Liquid iron and nickle
Mantle- Molten rock (silicates)
Crust- outer solid mantel
95% of Earths crust is 97% made out of silicates.Making the rocks there was a combination of silicon and oxygen.
What Happened?
This was so amazing to me because it how the colors were changing form. They looked like veins kind of. The way they spread right as they were poured in was very cool. It made me very interested the way Andrew was talking about it.
Results:
The first test tube it look like a spider web kind of. Same with the second. It was different with the second test tube it started of as a red blotches then pink and blue started to grow this is the one that looked like a vein to me, but I wonder what it would look like in a bigger container. The third test tube nothing happened, it was boring I tried to look closely but still nothing was going on.
Looking Forward:
Looking forward I would like to do this experiment again but in a bigger container. To see how big it can actually grow and compare the first two and to see what was really happening with the third one. Also, I would want to try to make different silicates so it wouldn't be just doing the same ones over and over again.
