Good morning, Div. 5!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Today is Wednesday, which means it is time for another mystery science!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This week’s mystery science we will explore how solid rock breaks apart into smaller pieces through a process called weathering (including root-wedging and ice-wedging). In the activity, Sugar Shake, you can use sugar cubes as a model for rocks. Then you are invited to perform an experiment with this model to understand the process of weathering and how this process explains why rocks at the tops of mountains are jagged, while those at the bottom are rounded.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
