School Rocks!


Learning about rocks really rocks!! Stone is applying pressure and time to some 'sedimentary rock. Then we added heat to turn it to metamorphic rock! It was way cool!


We also made our own crystals using borax and water. They crystalized over night. We discovered that adding food coloring really doesn't make a difference because the crystals don't absorb the color. But the crystals turned out cool though.


We got to make igneous rock 'crayon' by completely melting crayons and then letting them cool. Then we each got a piece of the rock/crayon to take home.
