JUST FOR FUN:
Earth Day:
In honor of Earth Day, we did a fun candy weathering and erosion experiment.
I set out supplies for each kid to use. I printed our Earth Science poster and recording sheets (twinkl.com).
We started our experiment by reviewing Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition. Then we demonstrated various forms of erosion.
Wind Erosion:
We simulated wind erosion by blowing our peanut butter powder landform through a straw.
Chemical Erosion:
We placed chocolate snd skittles in vinegar and slowly dissolved the outer coating. You can see the ”s” floating.
Water Erosion – Waves:
We placed skittles in water and swirled it around to simulate waves. We saw how the “waves” wore down the layers on our candy.
Physical Weathering:
We placed sugar cubes in a container with rocks to simulate how physical weathering wears down rocks and land formations.
