Earthlearningidea The rock cycle in wax 蜡制岩石周期 Using a candle to demonstrate the rock cycle processes 用一根蜡烛演示岩石周期的各个环节 Revisiting the rock cycle 重温岩石周期 When you have taught about the rock cycle, revisit and revise it with your pupils using a candle, as follows. After each demonstration, ask: What rock cycle process does this represent? (the answers are shown in italics – more discussion is given in the ‘Back up’ notes below). 在教授岩石周期的时候，用一根蜡烛来辅助学生复习。在完成每一个演示步骤后，问学生：这代表岩石周期中的哪一个环节？（答案以斜体字表示——更多的讨论参见“备忘录”部分。 Scrape fragments off the candle (or grate them off using a cheese grater) – erosion 在蜡烛上刮下一些小片的蜡块（或者用起司刷把蜡刷下来）- 侵蚀 Allow the pieces to fall down onto a piece of paper – transportation 让这些蜡块掉到一张纸上 – 搬运 The pieces build up on the piece of paper – deposition 小片蜡块在纸面上堆积起来 – 沉积作用 Press down on the pile of candle fragments with the palm of your hand, saying that this would happen to the sediments at the bottom as more sediments pile up on top – compaction 用手掌从上往下挤压蜡块堆，说这就像当沉积物越堆越高时，被压在底下的沉积物所经受的一样 – 压实 Holding your hands vertical, move them together to compress the candle fragments into a ridge of wax – metamorphism 保持双手互相垂直，挤压靠拢，把这些蜡块压成一个蜡脊 - 变质 Warm the candle with a match and point out the liquid wax – melting 用一根火柴把蜡加热，指出液态的蜡 – 熔化 Let the liquid wax fall onto paper and solidify – “crystallisation” 让液态的蜡掉到纸面上然后凝固 – 结晶 Ask which rock cycle processes this simple model can’t demonstrate – weathering, cementation, rising, extrusion, uplift. 问岩石周期中的哪些部分是这个模型不能展示的 – 风化，粘固，上升，喷出，隆起。 …………………………………………………………………………………………………………. The back up 备忘录 Title: The rock cycle in wax 题目：蜡制岩石周期 Subtitle: Using a candle to demonstrate the rock cycle processes 副标题：用一根蜡烛演示岩石周期的过程 Topic: A candle is used to demonstrate several rock cycle processes, and is effective in consolidating understanding of the rock cycle at the end of a lesson. 主题：用一根蜡烛演示岩石周期中的数个环节，有效地在课堂结束时巩固对岩石周期的理解。 Age range of pupils: 11 – 16 years 学生年龄范围：11-16岁 Time needed to complete activity: 10 mins. 完成活动需要时间：10分钟 Pupil l
