This week we have been learning about the three different types of rock using – you guessed it – chocolate!
The layers of our Caramel Wafer reminded us of sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks are formed from sediments that have settled at the bottom of a lake, sea or ocean, and have been compressed over millions of years. The sediment comes from eroded rocks carried there by rivers or ice, and from the skeletons of sea creatures.
The holes inside our Crunchie reminded us of the gas bubbles that form when lava cools quickly, creating igneous rock.
We held a Curly Wurly in our hand as we learned about the different types of rock. The heat and pressure totally changed the shape of our chocolate. Metamorphic rocks are created by the heat and pressure from tectonic plates sliding together.
We’ve learned so much during our Chocolate Geology lessons and cleaning up after them is always so much fun!
I loved learning about the three different types of rock called:igneous,sedimentary and metamorphic. I loved eating it just as much
