In this activity, the antacid tablet

represents the rock.

Directions: Have students predict if the

whole tablet or the crushed tablet will

Procedure:
 Crush one antacid tablet. Place it in 100
mL of warm water and stir. Use the
stopwatch to measure the time until the
tablet dissolves.
 Repeat with the whole antacid tablet.

There are three types of weathering: content within and

and biological weathering. teaching areas.

Agents of Weathering
1. Water - Either in liquid or solid form is
one of the agents of mechanical
weathering. In liquid form, it seeped into
cracks and crevices of rocks and when the
temperature dropped, it freezes and
definitely will expand in the form of ice.
The ice then works as a wedge which
slowly widens the cracks and splits the
rock. When the ice melts, the liquid water
performs the act of erosion by carrying
away the tiny rock fragments
lost in the split. KRA 1-Objective 3
2. Salt - In the process of haloclasty, salts (INDICATOR 2 )
served as an agent of weathering. Display proficient

3. Temperature - Temperature changes
can also contribute to weathering through
the process called thermal stress. During
thermal stress, rock tend to expand with
heat and contract with low temperature.
As this happens repeatedly, the structure
of the rock weakens and over time
crumbles.
4. Plants - also served as agents of
weathering. Its contribution take place
when the seed of a tree being spread in the
environment sprout in soil that has
collected in a cracked rock. As the roots
grow, they widen the cracks, eventually
breaking the rock into pieces. Over time,
trees can break apart even large rocks.
Even small plants, such as mosses, can
enlarge tiny cracks as they grow.
5. Animals - animals that tunnel
underground, such as moles and prairie
dogs, also work to break apart rock and
soil. Other animals dig and trample rock
aboveground, causing rock to slowly
crumble.

B. Chemical Weathering - is caused by understanding,

in rocks to form new minerals (clays) and engagement and
soluble salts. achievement.
There are different types of chemical
weathering, the most important are:
1. Carbonation – carbon dioxide in the air
dissolves in rainwater and becomes
weakly acidic. This weak “carbonic acid”
can dissolve limestone as it seeps into
cracks and cavities. Over many years,
solution of the rock can form spectacular
cave systems.
2. Hydrolysis – the breakdown of rock by
acidic water to produce clay and soluble
salts. Hydrolysis takes place when acid
rain reacts with rock-forming minerals
such as feldspar to produce clay and salts
that are removed in solution. The only
common rock-forming mineral that is not
affected is quartz, which is a chemically
resistant mineral. Therefore, quartz and
clay are the two of the most common
minerals in sedimentary rocks. KRA 1 -Objective
3. Hydration – a type of chemical 3 (INDICATOR 9)

4. Oxidation – the breakdown of rock by
oxygen and water, often giving iron- rich
rocks a rusty-colored weathered surface.
C. Biological weathering - occurs when
rocks are weakened by different biological
agents like plants and animals.
It can be classified into:
1. Biological Weathering by Physical
Means: Burrowing animals like shrews,
moles and earthworms create holes on the
ground by excavation and move the
rock fragments to the surface. These
 fragments become more exposed to other
environmental factors that can further
enhance their weathering. Furthermore,
humans also indirectly contribute to
biological weathering by different
activities that cause rocks to break.
2. Biological Weathering by Chemical
Compounds: Some plants and animals
also produced acidic substances that react
with the rock and cause its slow
disintegration.
