Sedimentary and Metamorphic Rock Science Lab
We explored how Sedimentary and Metamorphic rocks are formed using Starbursts candy during our Science Lab.
Sediment piles up, one layer on top of another
The pressure from the weight of the top layers compresses all the sediment and transforms it into sedimentary rock over a long period of time.
We applied some heat to our sedimentary rock (using a microwave) and with the combination of heat and pressure, our sedimentary rocks turned into metamorphic rocks.
The students were able to see how the physical properties of their rock can change with heat and pressure.
KickIt Games Field Day
The kids had a great time on Friday, Oct. 3 during our KickIt Games Field Day.
There were some fun activities.
CA Regions Sculpted Maps pt. 2
Once the dough finished drying, we were able to paint and label our maps!
