Rockin' and Rollin'

We have finished our rocks and minerals unit. The students learned all about the different types of rocks and minerals we find all around us. We talked about and discovered minerals we eat and use everyday (this was very amusing to them 😊)!! At the end of our unit the students made the different types of rocks using starburst (metamorphic), white and dark chocolate chips (igneous) and cookies with icing (sedimentary). They were able to make the connection between the types of rocks and the ways we were able to form our own "rocks".
