Rock Candy Cycle
/
To explore types of rock we started with review the memory work and an explanation of the rock cycle. Then we did an experiment with starburst candy. You can get a science journal sheet to explain the experiments on Teachers Pay Teachers.
After the starburst experiment we read the book How to Dig A Hole to the Other Side of the World. This book is a fun way to talk about the parts of the earth.
After reading the book we made our own parts of the earth with an Oreo representing the crust and the mantle, chocolate syrup representing the liquid iron outer core, and the m&m representing the solid iron inner core. The Oreo model can be found here.
Then we enjoyed eating all of our treats!
