Did you open your child's backpack today to find a bright colored blob in a plastic bag? If so, you found our igneous rock! As part of our study of Earth's systems, we are learning to identify different types of rocks and what they can tell us about the Earth. To help us visualize three types of rocks, sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous, we used Starburst candies! First, we cut our Starbursts into pieces (sediments) and put them together to make sedimentary rocks. Then we put pressure on our rocks with books and our hands and made metamorphic rocks. Last, we heated our rocks up to boiling point and let them cool and harden to make igneous rocks. Ask us about the different types of rocks and see if you can see any evidence of boiling in our igneous rocks. All in all, science in Room 314 ROCKED today!
