CHEMICAL AND MECHANICAL EROSION OF ROCKS KIT

The rock cycle has been the subject of study for many years. A key component to the rock cycle is the mechanical and chemical erosion of rocks. With multiple activities, this is a kit that is sure to keep students engaged throughout the whole experiment.

• In this kit students will learn about the rock cycle and the significance of certain types of erosion.
• This kit also provides an opportunity for students to investigate acid rain and other environmental factors that can be influenced by human actions.
• Included is a demonstration that will help students visualize the freezing and thawing action of water on rocks.
