Rocks

Igneous, Sedimentary & Metamorphic Rocks

Students piling up layers of sediment to build their sedimentary rocks.

Adding "shells" from shellfish



Adding rich plant material


Applying pressure as top layers push down on the layers beneath.

Finished sedimentary stacker

Warming our hands up to prepare for creating metamorphic rocks

Before...

During...

After...a new metamorphic rock is formed when exposed to heat and pressure.
