Beach Sand Pre-Lab

Intro
Which beach sands react to being mixed with vinegar from Big beach to Wailea beach.

 Question
Will Big beach's Sand react more if mixed with
vinegar than that sand at Wailea beach?
Hypothesis
 My hypothesis is that Big beach's sand will 
react more in vinegar that the sand at Wailea  Beach.

Materials
Pipette, goggles, cup, Vinegar, sand samples, pen,
Journal, slippers.
Procedure
1. Round up our group and get in our van.
2. Drive over to Big beach and gather samples.
3. Leave big beach and drive to wailea beach.
4. Gather sand samples at Wailea beach and head back to school.
Observations

  

                                 Big Beach 
 From the Sand samples we gathered from big beach 
  we conclude that the sand here is Biogenic and smooth.
 When  we added the vinnegar to the Sand, it slightgly fizzed  
but did not crackle. 

            


         Wailea beach
  From the Sand samples that we gathered from Wailea beach, 
we found out that it reacted more to   being mixed with the vinegar. 
It not only fizlled loudly but crackled quite loud when mixed with the vinegar.






Conclusion
 From all of the evidence that we obtained. I have come to conclude that my hypothesis was shown to be wrong and that the sand from Big beach did not react more that the sand from Wailea beach while being mixed with vinegar.
