Rocks

We are learning about rocks!
Charles came to talk to use about the rock cycle.

We learned there are three types of rocks. We used food to learn the different types. To learn how Igneous rocks are made we melted chocolate and then let it harden in a different shape. To learn about metamorphic rocks we had gum drops. Then we used heat, time and pressure to melt the gum drops into a different shape. The final type of rock is sedimentary. We make a sedimentary cake. It had many different layers! They were all very delicious "rocks"!

Here is the metamorphic rock.

Here is our sedimentary cake.

We also make rocks out of Legos. We worked as a team to create a rock made up of different minerals.

We also checked to see if our own rocks would sink or float in water. After testing, we found out that all the rocks we found sink.
