Separating Sea Sediment Materials

The students will use vinegar, a dilute acid, to test rocks such as limestone and marble for the mineral calcite, showing that marble is limestone that has been metamorphosed.

Demo Pack includes: 1-oz bottle acetic acid, 7/8-oz vial calcium carbonate, 1 eyedropper, 3 16mm x 150mm test tubes, 1 baggie with calcite, marble, and limestone samples.

Study Group Pack includes: 4 1-oz bottles acetic acid, 4 7/8-oz vials calcium carbonate, 4 eyedroppers, 12 16mm x 150mm test tubes, 4 baggies with calcite, marble, and limestone samples.

Classroom Pack includes: 10 1-oz bottles acetic acid, 10 7/8-oz vials calcium carbonate, 10 eyedroppers, 30 16mm x 150mm test tubes, 10 each of calcite, marble, and limestone samples.
