Activity 2. Volcanoes in the Philippines

Objective
classify volcanoes as active or inactive
Materials:
Philippine map
colored pens
triangle ruler
Procedure:
1. Using the Philippine map (fig. 3), plot the location of the following volcanoes. Assign colors for
the volcanoes. Indicate this in the legend.

Table 1. List of some volcanoes in the Philippines

Questions
Q1. Are all the volcanoes found in the same location?

Q2. Which of the volcanoes had the most number of eruptions? least number of eruptions? no record of
eruption?

Q3. How will you classify the volcanoes that have records of eruptions?

Q4. How will you classify volcanoes with no record of eruption?

Q5. In your own words, differentiate an active volcano from an inactive one.

Activity 3
Under pressure
Objective
describe the effect of high temperature to the formation of gas

Materials
two 300 ml bottled softdrinks(must be sealed before using)
two 300 ml bottled cooking oil
two identical small basins
hot water

Procedure
1. Hall-fill basin A with hot water and basin B with cold water.
2. Put one bottled soda in basin A and another one in basin B. Wait for three minutes.
3. Slowly unscrew the caps from the bottle in each basin and observe.

Q1. What did you observe in each bottle?

Q2. Explain your observation.

Q3. What is the role of hot water in the setup?

What if we use another liquid such as oil instead of softdrinks? Will we have the same observation? Let’s find out
in the next procedure.
4. Replace the hot water in basin A.
5. Put one of the bottled cooking oil in hot water and the other one in cold water. Wait for three minutes.
6. Slowly unscrew the caps and observe.
Q4. Do you have the same observation as in the soda drinks?

Q5. Explain your answer.

Activity 4
Viscosityrace
Objectives:

Materials:
four pieces of cone out of a cardboard
clear drinking glass
beaker
drinking straw
tray
timer
water
syrup
honey
cooking oil

Procedure:
1. Before doing the activity, predict which liquid (water, syrup, honey, and cooking oil) takes the least amount of time to
reach the tray. Which liquid will take the most amount of time?
2. Place the cone marked A, B, C, and D on the tray.
3. Pour water on the top of cone A. Record the time it takes for the water to reach the tray.
4. Do it three times for each material.
NOTE: Use the same amount of material each time.

6. Put 100 mL syrup in a clear glass.

7. Using a drinking straw, blow some air from the bottom of the liquid. Observe.
8. Repeat procedure 7 by blowing harder on the liquid. Observe.

Questions:
Q1. Is your prediction correct?

Q2. Which liquid is the most viscous? How do you know?

Q3. Which liquid is the least viscous?

Q4. Explain viscosity in your own words.

Q5. Compare how these liquids flow with how you think lava flows. Why do some types of lava travel faster than others?

Q6. Compare the movement of the liquid as the bubbles move on the surface.

Activity 5
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:

2. Mix about 3/4 cup of cornstarch 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 cornstarchwith the rest of the water. Fill the other paper cup with gravel.
Pour a small amount of the cornstarch mixture on the third
piece of cardboard, then pour some gravel on top. Repeat until all the cornstarch mixture and gravel have
been used. Label this model “cone C” and set it aside until the mixturesin 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.
Questions:
Q1. Compare the appearances of the cones.

Q2. Which volcano has the greatest slope? Which has the least slope?

Q3. Explain how the type of material extruded from a volcano affects the shape of its cone.

Q4. In what way does the formation of a volcanic cone model differ from a real volcano?
