I would love to hear! Follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, Instagram or subscribe by email.

What Sinks? from Stir the Wonder We love using YouTube for making educational playlists for what we are learning. For your convenience, I have provided links to these books on Amazon. I am quite certain this was so successful because of the books and videos we enjoyed this month. It was more sugar than I really had planned, and in the future I might only allow them to eat one “rock type” in one setting. I hate to admit that they ate each of the rocks after they were done observing the changes, the properties and comparing the different forms. Once it cooled, it was so fun to pull away from the wax paper and observe. I carefully opened up the foil and let them see what had happened, but they were NOT ALLOWED to touch it until it had cooled. Once it had melted, I removed it and placed it on a towel for the children to observe. I kept it in the toaster until it had melted to a liquid. I checked on it frequently, because I didn’t want the candy to burn. I placed them in the toaster oven again on high heat for 5-10 minutes. Each time we kept the same order of colors, so the observations were easier to make and describe.įor this step, I handled the foil wrapped candy until it cooled. Once again, the boys wrapped up their rocks. They were amazed at how little pressure it took to smash the rocks together. I carefully wrapped the foil into a towel and let the boys apply pressure. You don’t want it to melt here, just get soft. Basically, the foil was warm to the touch and when I squeezed on the sides, it was malleable. This will very depending on your toaster oven. I left them for a very short time… about 2 minutes. Voila… sedimentary rock!įor this step, adult assistance is needed! After the children have wrapped up a new set of “rocks”, an adult can place them in the toaster oven. After some attempts with their hands, they decided to stand on the starburst. I challenged them to change the shape of the three rocks (starburst) with their pressure alone. I explained to the boys how sedimentary rocks are formed and reviewed the video. This phase is simple, but it takes some muscle. Roll the papers over the Starburst tightly and form the foil around the starburst. Stack the 3 Starburst in the center of the papers.Ĥ. However, I wanted to really allow my children the experience of doing the activity repeatedly from the beginning, so they could tactilely remember the process the “rocks” went through.įor each rock type, you will want to do the following beginning steps…Ģ. I have seen this experiment done where you keep putting the same three starburst back into the foil to show the process. For this experiment, I feel it made the learning hands-on, visual and easy to remember. There are three types of rocks: Sedimentary, Metamorphic and Igneous. ![]() That way the activity moves smoothly and the boys aren’t waiting on my to get organized. I like to have all of these things set out and ready when we start our activities. Other Items Needed (to be used by an adult) Today I am going to share our edible rock cycle for kids. After watching few videos on YouTube about the rock cycle, the boys( age 6 and 8) wanted to experiment more with rocks. Many of you may know from our weekly lesson plans, that we have been studying rocks for the last month. Welcome back for another Saturday Science Blog Hop. ![]()
