2.   LO: to apply your knowledge of rocks to practical situations  Starter: What do you think these statues are made from? Why have these materials been used? Building a Statue

3.   A new statue is to be built at the school in the central courtyard between the main block and the gym.  You must decide which type of rock will be most suitable to use to build the statue.  You will be given 3 different carbonates to test. The Noadswood Statue

4.   What factors would you need to take into consideration when deciding on the most suitable material to use?  Plan your investigation using the equipment on the next slide.  Think about your key variables and how you will ensure it’s repeatable. Planning

5.   Copper Carbonate, Calcium Carbonate, Iron Carbonate  Hydrochloric Acid  Measuring cylinder,  Conical Flask  Timer  Balance  Spatula  Gas Syringe (these are very expensive, handle with care) Available equipment:

6.   What is your independent variable?  What is your dependant variable?  What are your control variables?  How will you ensure your experiment is repeatable? Variables:

7.  Independent variable + Unit Dependant Variable + Unit Design a table to record your results

8.  Carry out your investigation

9.   What type of data do you have?  Draw a suitable type of graph to display your data  Remember to only graph the average results Graphing

10.   Which rock type would you use to build the Noadswood Statue? Why?  Include evidence from your investigation to support your suggestion. Plenary:

11.   Level your partners table and graph.  Table: Correct independent variable AND unit (1 mark) L4 Correct dependant variable AND unit (1 mark) L5  Graph: Bar chart (1 mark)L4 Correct X axis label AND unit (1 mark)L4 Correct Y axis label AND unit (1 mark) L5 Correctly drawn bars (1 mark) L6 Peer Assessment:
