Today we learned about Sedimentary Rocks. We first wrote down how we think Sedimentary Rocks are formed. I told them they can be creative as they like! I figured we would get some more variety in answers. I find the kids usually put a volcano if they don't know the answer so I was hoping for something different. Most students did get the answer right but I just loved the quirky younger grades answers.
Here is the samples of Sedimentary Rock that the kids looked at today. We passed them out after predictions. I have a rock lamp made from Alablaster (the pink rock) so tomorrow the kids will get to see that lamp. We will also be making a Sedimentary Snack tomorrow!
Here is a cute answer on how this rock is formed. It came down from the moon! He even made a track (aka slide) for the rocks to fall down onto. How awesome is this answer! haha.
Seth is showing a great example of what I wanted the kids to do after predictions. We read a book on Sedimentary Rocks then we inspected the different rocks. They each chose their favourite rock and coloured the rock. This rock had lots of layers!
