    Activity Number 4: Third Quarter Period in and Out

    This document provides instructions for a classroom activity involving modeling volcanic cones using different materials. Students will create 3 models - one using cornstarch and water, one using gravel, and one combining both materials. They will then measure and record the slope of each model cone, compare their appearances, and answer questions about how the extruded materials affect the cone shape. They will also discuss how the models differ from real volcanoes and infer properties of specific volcanoes based on their slopes.

    QUEZON NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

    Iyam, Lucena City

    Name: Group no.


    Grade & Section:
    Third Quarter Period
    Activity Number 4
    In and out

    Objective:
    relate the volcano’s slope to its material emissions

    Materials:
    two ¾ cups of cornstarch two ¼ cups of water 1 cup gravel
    3 cardboard pieces three 250 ml paper cups stirrer (any wooden stick)
    Ruler protractor

    Procedure:
    1.Make a data table like the one shown below:
    Table 3. Volcano model and slope

    CONE DRAWING OF CONE SLOPE

    CORNSTARCH

    GRAVEL

    MIXED

    2. Mix about 3/4 cup of corn starch with 1/4 cup of water in a paper cup. Stir the mixture well until it thickens.
    3. Pour the mixture on a piece of cardboard from a height of 2-3 cm. Write “cone A” on the cardboard and set it
    aside.
    4. Fill another cup with gravel. Pour the gravel slowly on the second piece of cardboard from a height of about 10
    cm. Label this model “cone B” and set it aside.
    5. In a cup, mix the rest of the corn starch with the rest of the water. Fill the other paper cup with gravel. Pour a
    small amount of the corn starch mixture on the third piece of cardboard, then pour some gravel on top.
    Repeat until all the corn starch mixture and gravel have been used. Label this model “cone C” and set it aside until
    the mixtures in both cone A and cone C have hardened (about 20 min).
    6. Draw the cone of volcanoes A, B and C.
    7. Use the protractor to measure the approximate slope of each cone. You can measure the slope from the base
    as shown below. Enter the data in Table 2.

    Q1. Compare the appearances of the cones.
