Powder, Gravel, and Salt Observations

How did particle size and shape differ between substances?

13 comments:

  1. The particle shape was different because the salt was like small crystals, the gravel was like tiny pebbles, and that the powder was like tiny clumps of flour. The particle size was different because the powder was like, again, clumps of flour (1), the gravel was like really tiny and small (2), and the salt was the smallest out of all three substances. These were all different because these were all different substance! Olivia Garcia
    P.S.- salt is made of 40% sodium and 60% chlorine!

  2. Particle shape and size differed between substances because the salt dissolved into the water, the powder mixed with water and looks like milk, and lastly the gravel looked the same when mixed with water.

  3. The size of the gravel was much bigger than the others and the the size of the earth/sand was the smallest. If i were the number them from smallest to biggest it would be 1,2,3.

  4. Particle size and shape differed between substance (such as powder and salt) because the salt was smaller and more chunkier than the powder. The powder was more like fluffy and less chunky.

  5. The gravel was the biggest of the 3, then salt, then powder. The gravel was rocks and sand, the salt looked like diamonds, and the powder just looked like white powder.

  6. The salt was like tiny crystals smaller than the big gravel pieces and the powder looked like a clump of flour.

  7. The gravel had the largest particle size and it was a rough spherical shape. The salt started out the 2nd biggest then turned into the smallest. When the salt was still large it was crystalline shaped. When the salt wasn't dissolved the powder was the smallest, then it turned into the second smallest. The powder was so small the shape was undetermined. Jackson B.

  8. The gravel was huge and the salt was about as huge as the gravel and the powder looked like a little mountain of teeny tiny rocks

  9. Gravel was the biggest, than powder, and salt gravel was big salt looked like crystals and powder was like Powder! john

  10. Particle shape and size differed between substances because the powder dissolved in the water which looked like krill (when you look in special pair of goggles) floating around in foggy water. The salt looked like tiny pieces of diamonds with some of them scattered around. And lastly, the gravel looked a little shiny piece of rock (which is what it is) but still looked about the same.

  11. The gravel was definitely the biggest. Than the powder because the salt dissolved however the normal salt was larger than the powder. The gravel was like a ton of small rocks. The salt was like a bunch of crystals and the powder was like soft grainy stuff. -Savannah Kezmoh

  12. Gravel: Biggest, rocky
    Salt: 2nd biggest, crystal shaped
    Powder: smallest, each particle not visible

  13. Gravel was the biggest, jagged, and rocky. Salt was bigger than powder before adding water, and crystal shaped. Powder is the smallest and is circle shaped.
