    This document describes two simple experiments that can be done at home to simulate geologic processes underground. The first uses an egg white in a pan with a jar of hot water placed in the center. Observations are made of how the heat causes the egg white near the jar to change while leaving the distant egg white unchanged. The second uses sticks of different lengths with rulers on either side to pull them together, representing tectonic forces acting on rocks and minerals. Observations are made of how the sticks change orientation when compressed. Questions are included about inferences that can be made about underground conditions and geological processes from these simulations.

    EARTH SCIENCE

    QUARTER 2 ACTIVITY 4

    SIMPLE EXPERIMENT AT HOME

    Geologic processes that take place underneath the ground is very hard to
    decribe because we cannot directly observe what’s going on beneath us. Hence,
    to visualize the events that are taking place in the Earth’s crust, let us do this
    simulation activity.

    For this activity you may ask the help of your parents or siblings with you at
    home. You may use materials as alternatives if the ones given are not availabLe
    at your house. Let’s start.

    Set-up 1
    Materials for set up 1:
    • Raw egg white
    • A shallow pan (you may use plate as alternative)
    • Boiled water in a glass jar or bottle

    Procedures:
    1. Separate yolk from the egg white (you will be using only the egg white) and
    pour it in a shallow pan.
    2. Transfer your boiled water on a glass jar or a bottle and place it in the
    middle of the pan.
    3. Observe the changes in the egg white.

    Questions:

    1. What did you notice on the egg white near the glass jar with hot water?
    What
    do you think caused that change?
    ______________________________________________________________________________
    ______________________________________________________________________________
    ______________________________________________________________________________

    2. Did you observe any changes on the egg white far from the hot glass jar?
    How can you explain this observation?

    Set-up 2

    Materials for set up 2:


    • Pieces of sticks taken from walis ting-ting with different lengths.
    • 2 rulers (you may use any alternatives for the purpose)

    Procedures:
    1. Drop the sticks onto an even surface and let them take different direction or
    orientation.
    2. Using two rulers, placed on either side of the sticks, pull them toward the
    center while trapping the sticks in the middle.

    Questions:
    1. The sticks represent the minerals present in the rocks. What changes did
    you observe on the sticks when you pulled the rulers together towards the
    middle?

    ______________________________________________________________________________

    2. In the activity, the rulers represent the tectonic forces that push rocks. What
    can you infer from this activity about the minerals in rocks when undergoing
    the same forces?

    ______________________________________________________________________________

    3. In this process, can you name the factor that is responsible to the changes
    that occurred?
