SCIENCE 10
Prepare the following materials:

1) a plate or bowl deep enough to
DIGESTIVE
hold water SYSTEM
Its
2) Parts
water and Functions
3) bits of paper
4) fork or barbeque stick for stirring.
SCIENCE 10
PROCEDURE:
1. Put enough water in your bowl.
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
2. Scatter the bits of paper on the surface of
the water. Your bits of paper must fill at least
Its Parts
half and
of the Functions
water surface for best results.
3. Using a barbeque stick or fork, slightly
make disturbance in the water. Observe then
answer the following questions.
SCIENCE 10
Guide Questions:
1. What happens to the paper bits
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
when you disturb the water?
2. What do the pieces of paper
represent?
SCIENCE 10
ANSWER:
1. When the water is disturbed, the bits of
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
paper move along the direction of the
movement of the
Its Parts and Functions water underneath
them.
2. The bits of paper represent the pieces of
the Earth's crust.

PLATE TECTONICS
Plate Tectonics is a
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
theory that suggests
Its Parts
that andcrust
Earth’s Functions
is
broken into smaller
pieces called plates
(tectonic plates).
SCIENCE 10
PLATE TECTONICS
The crust is
DIGESTIVE
not whole
SYSTEM
but
broken into
smaller pieces.

PLATE TECTONICS
The plates

are moving
constantly but
very slowly.

TRANSFER OF HEAT
This is what

convection
SCIENCE 10
CONVECTION
Convection is the
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
transfer of heat by the
Its Parts andofFunctions
movement a fluid
(liquid or gas) between
areas of different
temperature.
This is what
happened in
convection
SCIENCE 10
CONVECTION CURRENT
Convection currents are
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
the result of differential
heating. Lighter (less
Its Parts and
dense), warmFunctions
material
rises while heavier (more
dense) cool material
sinks.
SCIENCE 10
CONVECTION CURRENT
It is this movement that
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
creates circulation
patterns known as
convection currents in the
atmosphere, in water, and
in the mantle of Earth.
SCIENCE 10
CONVECTION CURRENT
Convection currents are identified in
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
Earth's mantle. Heated mantle material is
Its Partsrising
shown and Functions
from deep inside the mantle,
while cooler mantle material sinks,
creating a convection current.
SCIENCE 10
CONVECTION CURRENT
It is thought that this type of
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
current is responsible for the
movements of the plates of
Earth's crust.

1. The geological theory that states that pieces of
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
Earth’s crust are broken and slowly moving is
the theory of _________.
2. Earthquakes and volcanoes are most likely
found in __________.
3. It is the sudden shaking of the ground caused
by the pressure between two moving tectonic

4. It is this movement that creates

circulation in the mantle of Earth.

5. It is the area where two tectonic plates
meet.
6. In what layer of the Earth does

convection current occur?

TRUE OR FALSE: Write the NAME OF YOUR

CRUSH if the statement is TRUE. If it is FALSE,
kindly CHANGE THE ITALICIZED WORD/S to

7. Most of the earthquake and volcanic eruptions
occur in the middle of the plate tectonics.
8. Juan de Fuca is one of the major tectonic
plates.
