1 Daily Warm-Up Exercises Day 7 Explain why this is true: When a metamorphic rock is forming, it may be subjected to extremely high temperatures, yet it never completely melts. (Hint: What would the rock be if it completely melted?) Because if it melts, it would become molten rock. If it then cools and hardens, it would be an igneous rock.

Day 7
Explain why this is true:
When a metamorphic rock is forming, it may be subjected to extremely high temperatures, yet it never completely melts. (Hint: What would the rock be if it completely melted?)
Because if it melts, it would become molten rock. If it then cools and hardens, it would be an igneous rock.

With the caption in place, the viewer has the necessary information.
As magma cools, different minerals come together toform crystals, as in this granite. The crystals growtogether, filling the spaces.

Salol Crystals (Part 2, steps 1-10)
Investigation 8One Rock to Another
11
Examine your igneous rocks with a hand lens.
Look for crystals (pieces of pure minerals) in the rocks.
Sort into intrusive and extrusive.
Intrusive & Extrusive Rocks
12
Is there a relationship between crystal size and whether the igneous rock was intrusive or extrusive?
Intrusive rocks like granite have larger crystals.
Obsidian doesn’t appear to have any crystals.
Why do some igneous rocks have larger crystals than others?
Intrusive & Extrusive Rocks
13
Rocks must reach 750 0C (1382 0F) or more before they will begin to melt.
We can’t melt rocks in class, but we will use Salol to simulate the melting and cooling of a rock.
Salol melts at the temperature of hot tap water.

Salol Observations
Observe Salol Melting
15
Each pair needs:
lab sheet
one bottle of Salol
THE BOTTLES MUST STAY CLOSED
Each group needs:
hot and cold water
Materials for Salol Lab
16
What did the salol look like before you placed it in hot water?
white crystals on the side of the bottle
How long did it take for the salol to melt?
about 1 minute
Discuss What Happened
17
What happened when you placed the salol in the cold water?
it hardened and turned back into crystals
What do the crystals look like?
some look like crushed ice or big sugar crystals; others look like flat needles or feathery branches; some grow in rosettes from a central point or circle
Discuss What Happened
18
Forming crystals is called crystallization.
Crystal shape is one of the properties geologists use to help them identify minerals.
Salol crystals form the same shapes each time they crystallize (needles; feathers; diamonds; broken ice).
Crystallization
19
How can we find out the temperature at which salol melts?
Salol melts at around 40 0C.
If the temperature drops below 40 0C, the salol will begin to crystallize.
put the bottle in different temperatures of water and find the lowest temperature at which it will melt
Melting Temperature
20
Design an experiment using salol to answer the following questions:
•What variable do you think will affect the size of the crystals that form?
•What effect will this variable have on crystal size?
Crystal Size Investigation
21
1. Work as a group. Get two bottles of salol.
2. Place the two bottles of salol in the hot water to melt.
3. Place one bottle on its side in the container of ice water. Place the other bottle on its side in the room temperature water.
4. Observe and record every 30 seconds.
5. Compare the crystals in the two bottles when all the material has crystallized.
