Investigate: Where are there examples of weathering in my neighborhood?
Mechanical weathering is a process that breaks apart rocks without changing the chemical composition of the rocks. This process is occurring all around us, even in your neighborhood. When you walk in your neighborhood, or look around where you live and look for cracks in the sidewalks and for plants that are growing in cracks. This is evidence of weathering! Use this page to record your investigation.
Predict: Where do you think you will see weathering occurring when you go outside?
Observe: Go outside. Draw the weathering examples that you see. Take notes about where they are occurring? Is it where the weather collects? If you can, pull the plant out of the crack. What do the roots look like? Do you see much dirt on the roots like you would if you pulled a plant from the soil?
Explain: Talk about: How do you think that something this small can change the landscape over long periods of time? Are certain kinds of plants better adapted to growing in cracks than others? What could you look for in your next walk to test your idea?
Challenge: Look closely at the entire plant and especially the roots that you pulled from the sidewalk. Draw what you see. What do you notice?
