Regents Exam Lab Practical Review
Station 1 Mineral Identification • Identify 2 minerals by name based on identification tests
Station 2 Rock Classification • Using charts, you will classify a rock as igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic in one or more complete sentences. Igneous Random Intergrown crystals Bubbles – gas pockets Glassy texture Sedimentary Compacted and Cemented Layers Visible sediments Fossils Metamorphic Distorted layers Interconnected crystals in a pattern Foliated
Station 3 Angular Measurement • Using a plastic hemisphere with the approximate path of the sun draw on it, you will locate the position of the sun at a given time. • You will measure the distance between the sun’s position and a fixed point on the dome.
6am – 12pm = ? degrees Sun moves at 15º per hour 6 hours x 15 degrees/hour= 90degrees 12 noon 2pm 9am 5pm East South 6am West 5pm 6am 9am 12 noon 2pm North
9am – 2pm = ? degrees Sun moves at 15º per hour 5 hours x 15 degrees/hour= 75 degrees 12 noon 2pm 9am 5pm East South 6am West 5pm 6am 9am 12 noon 2pm North
9am – 12pm = ? degrees Sun moves at 15º per hour 3 hours x 15 degrees/hour= 45degrees 12 noon 2pm 9am 5pm East South 6am West 5pm 6am 9am 12 noon 2pm North

Station 4 Mass Density • Using a scale, you will measure the mass of a mineral. • You will be given the density of the sample. • Using the mass you measured and the density given to you, you will calculate the volume of the sample.
Station 5 Settling Time • You will drop beads of three different sizes into a tube filled with a liquid and measure the time that it takes for the bead to settle. • Two times for each size will be measured and averaged.
057 053 092 078 103 185
Averaging • The 2 trials per bead can be measured to the nearest 1/100th of a second but the averages must be to the nearest 1/10th of a second Example: 1.50 seconds 1.60 seconds 1.6 is the average
Station 6 Graphing • Using the data collected from station 5 (bead drop) you will graph three data points. • Using the line drawn on the graph, you will determine the settling time for a theoretical bead of a given size.
4 And what about at 2.5? 3 seconds 3.2 seconds 2 And what about at 6? 1 1.6 seconds 1 2 3 4 5 6 centimeters
A note on rounding and labeling • Read the station directions carefully • If it says to label your answer, then do it. • If it says to round to the nearest tenth, hundredth, etc., do it.
Grams = g • Centimeters = cm • Degrees = º or degrees • Seconds = sec • Cubic centimeters = cm3 • Grams per cubic centimeter = g/cm3
7.58 seconds Rounded to the nearest tenth: 0:0158 7.6 sec Rounded to the nearest hundredth: 7.58 sec
4.00 seconds Rounded to the nearest tenth: 0:0400 4.0 sec Rounded to the nearest hundredth: 4.00 sec Not rounded- totally wrong: 4 sec
