After Mr Cook finally managed to convince Mrs Prentice that there were three types of rock: Igneous, Sedimentary and Metamorphic (ROCK CHALLENGE IS NOT THE 4th), we were able to become Rockstar Geologists like James Hutton.

Our challenge, using the knowledge we had gained, was to categorise a sample of rocks which had been provided at 13 different stations. The task was tricky as some were difficult to distinguish, especially between sedimentary and metamorphic. Some of the igneous rocks looked heavy, but when you picked them up they were extremely light, foamy in fact.
