Rocks and Crystals by Amelia and Katie

In class we have been learning in science about rocks minerals and crystals we have enjoyed it so far and would like to show what we’ve learned  on our blog.

We have also had a go of making them which has been very fun!

Crystals are a type of mineral!

We have also been studying about the rock cycle were there are three different types of rocks Metamorphic Igneous and Sedimentary.

Metamorphic rocks  

As you  may have noticed this type of rock has different layers the layers have been formed over a large period of years have been pressed down. Some examples of metamorphic rocks are slate and marble.

Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.

Sedimentary rock is when lots of layers of rock pile up
