ShareEarth's Structure - The Denser You Are, The Harder You Fall!
When you observe rocks in a stream or river, you often
find they share common characteristics.The fast moving water moves rocks
downstream. As the water slows down, the rocks slowly stop moving. Typically
the largest rocks stop moving first while the smaller sized rocks continue
moving until the water slows down even more.
Procedure:
Below are pictures of six different-sized particles. Imagine that you
can put them in a large container filled with water and then shake the
container vigorously. The particles are labeled A, B, C, D, E
and F. Look closely at each and determine the order you would arrange
them in based on how they would settle out ... from bottom to top.
