Erosion Experiment
Material needed:
1 packed cup of brown sugar
1 pie tin
1 cup of water
Procedure:
Tightly pack 1 cup with brown sugar.
Carefully tip the brown sugar into the
pin tin. Try to keep the shape of the
cup. (You have just created a
mountain)
Slowly pour a small amount of water on
the top of the brown sugar mountain.
Make notes as to what is happening to
the mountain as well as what is
happening at the bottom of the tin.
Continue to pour the water over the top
of the Mountain. Keep making notes
until there is definitely erosion
taking place. (Remember erosion is the
movement of sediments)
Draw an illustration of the Mountain at
the beginning, then draw illustration
during the experiment to document the
changes that are taking place.
