1 Unit 2 Day 3 Physical & Chemical Weathering

2 Warm-Up Imagine dropping a sugar cube into a cup of coffee and the same sugar cube into a cup of cold lemonade. 1)In which cup do you predict the sugar cube will dissolve first? Why? 2)What could you do to make the sugar cube dissolve faster?

3 Unit 1 Test Corrections Must be completed independently (may use your notebook) Must provide the CORRECT letter & write out your answer as a complete sentence with an explanation to receive credit. – E.g. C-The number of pink flowers was the dependent variable, BECAUSE this is what was being measured in the experiment. May complete corrections during A lunch, 1 st period (with prior permission & pass), during work time (with permission), after school

4 Announcements Must turn in your Rock Cycle Crayon Lab & Rock Cycle half sheet today, if you have not already done so Notebook check for Unit 1 Completed – Grade based on organization – Completion (thorough notes) – Do Now/Exit Tickets stamped & in complete sentences Be sure all work is stapled, taped, or glued into your notebook Must take Unit 1 Test before Friday!

5 Daily Goal: SWBAT explain differences in chemical and physical weathering. Big Goal: 80% mastery, college-level work, and global awareness! Key Terms Physical Weathering Chemical Weathering Biological Activity Unloading Frost Wedging

6 Agenda Warm Up Weathering video + Real-world application Smarties demo Weathering Lab Notes: Weathering Start on Homework, if time… Exit Ticket

7 Weathering…why do we care? Weathering steels are high strength, low alloy steels that can provide corrosion protection without additional coating. Increase in alloying elements, primarily copper, stops atmospheric corrosion in the material itself. The material was developed in the 1930s for use in coal hopper train cars to resist the corrosive effects of the sulfur in coal and exposure to long periods of rain. Experience at the time found that conventional steel was corroding in relatively short periods of time. What sets the material apart from conventional steel is in the chemistry. Weathering steel will have a minimum copper content of at least 0.20 percent, whereas conventional carbon steels have a copper content of less than.02 percent

8 Physical Weathering Video While you watch, write down at least 3 BULLETED NOTES below your DO NOW

9 How Does Surface Area affect the Rate of Weathering? Demo: Smarties and acid Create a hypothesis: Which smarties do you think will dissolve the quickest? Write your Conclusion

10 Chemical Weathering Video -Below your sweet tart experiment conclusion, write 3 BULLET POINTS (MAIN IDEAS) about this video -Pay close attention to the information about climate and the effects of climate on weathering

11 Weathering Lab PROBLEM: How does the environment affect the rate of chemical weathering? RESEARCH: Use your notes and page 129-131 in the text book to answer the following questions: 1) What is chemical weathering? 2) What is physical weathering? 3) How does chemical weathering differ from physical weathering? 4) What are some factors that affect the rate (speed) of chemical weathering? 10 minutes!

12 Hypothesis At which temperature will chemical weathering occur the fastest? (If…then) Make an educated guess based on the research you’ve already done!

13 Experiment: Part 1 1.Fill the container of rocks about half full with water. Make Observations about the water, container, and rocks. 2.Place the lid on the container and shake the container vigorously 100 times. 3.Pour your water, but not your rocks into your beaker. 4.Make observations of the water in the beaker and the sides of the plastic container after shaking. 5.Pour the rest of your water back into the plastic container and begin part 2.

14 Part 1 Observations Before ShakingAfter Shaking

15 Experiment: Part 2 Temperature  10-20 o C  20-30 o C  30-40 o C  40-50 o C Where will this water most likely come from? What might you need to use to get to the proper temperature?

16 Sharing your data… Starting Temperature ( o C) Dissolving Time (seconds) Final Temperature ( o C) Average Temperature

17 Data Title: ____________________________________________

18 Analysis and Conclusion Use your data and observations to complete your analysis and conclusion (15 minutes) **I SHOULD HEAR ONLY TALK ABOUT THIS LAB! **YOU SHOULD BE WORKING AND COLLABORATING with your lab group.

19 Let’s take a deeper look…

20 Frost Wedging When water freezes and expands, it enlarges cracks in rocks. When water freezes and expands, it enlarges cracks in rocks.

21 What happens when you freeze a coke can? The liquid expands, and often times the can will bust!

22 Chemical Weathering Biological Activity Unloading Frost Wedging

23 Devil’s Tower, Wyoming First National Monument – Devils Tower was the first declared United States National Monument, established on September 24, 1906 by President Theodore Roosevelt. What is it? – Devils Tower is a monolithic igneous intrusion, or in other words, it is the core of a volcano exposed from erosion How do you think Devil’s Tower formed?

24 HOMEWORK Begin silently working on the homework (Worksheet 2.3)

25 Exit Ticket 1) In which type of climate would chemical weathering occur the fastest? A. warm and dryC. warm and wet B. cold and dryD. cold and wet 2) Which of the following are not a type of mechanical weathering? A. UploadingB. Biological ActivityC. CuttingD. Frost Wedging 3) We learned from the lab today that as the temperature increases, the rate of chemical weathering ________. A. increasesB. decreasesC. stays the sameD. increases then decreases 4) Students placed rock chips of uniform size and shape in jars half- filled with water and shook them for different lengths of time. One rock chip was collected for each length of shaking and displayed. Which column above shows the rock chips arranged from top to bottom in order of least to most shaking time? Explain your reasoning.
