Key Points

The aim is to develop educational materials that help students understand the relationship between water and granite erosion, focusing on chemical weathering.
Created synthetic granite using sodium bicarbonate, sodium sulfate, quartz sand, and iron powder.
Conducted practical classes with university students not enrolled in advanced geology courses.
Utilized water application to demonstrate changes in granite due to physical and chemical weathering.
Over 60% of students understood the complex interplay of physical and chemical weathering due to water's effects.
Practical application helped solidify concepts related to geological processes.

Implication

Demonstrates understanding of granite erosion through chemical weathering in university students, indicating educational potential.
