In an effort to further your child’s experience with our Weathering lessons on chapter 7, students are required to complete a poster to compare and contrast mechanical weathering and chemical weathering, and describe the effects of weathering agents on rocks. Each student received a copy of the rubric and information below. The project is due no later than Friday, December 19th. A chapter test will also be administered on Friday.
Weathering Project
1. Make a poster to compare and contrast chemical and mechanical weathering and the effect of weathering agents.
2. Make a straight line through the middle of your poster
3. On the right side write in bold letters the words Mechanical Weathering, and the left side write in bold letters the words Chemical Weathering.
4. Draw* or paste a picture for each of the five agents of mechanical weathering [ice, abrasion, (wind, water, or gravity), plants and animals], and each of the five agents of chemical weathering (water, acid precipitation, acids in groundwater, acids in living things and air). *If you draw you must also color your drawing as part of the grade.
