Science DBA (3rd Six Weeks)

Students placed stones in a container and shook the container to model the Weathering process. To accurately see how much sediments is weathered during the investigation, the students can-

• use string to estimate the size of the rocks before and after shaking

• weigh the empty container before and after shaking

• measure the mass of the rocks before and after shaking

• measure the distance across the face of the rocks

• Landslides can cause earthquakes

• Earthquakes and landslides are unrelated

• Earthquakes can cause landslides

• Landslides cause mud and rock to fall due to earthquakes shaking the earth beneath us
