Today, students became geologists. We discovered the difference between rocks and minerals as we disected our mock rocks. We will see how small we can get the materials by putting the particles in water. I wonder what will happen?

I think the material will dissolve so much that it might not even be visible when you use a simple microscope. I also think that it may also turn into a crystal.
My hypothesis is that I think the grey matter from the mock rock will be dissolved into the water along with the small salt-like matter. Then I think the water will evaporate but the salt-like matter and the grey matter will still be in the test tube. Like Anshul I also think the salt-like material will turn into a crystal.
I think the mock rock will dissolve so much that you will not be able to see it unless it all settles in one place. Also I think it might get separated because when it dissolves the different partices like sand and gravel will go in different places in the vial.

I think it will be hard and rock like again. The water may also evaporate. It also might be sandy particles again.
I think the mineral will dissolve and it will become a solution just like the salt did when we mixed salt and water.
