7th Age Science Rocks

The Seventh Age science students are rocking and rolling this week as we learned all about rocks! We have focused on the three major groupings of rocks (Igneous, Metamorphic, and Sedimentary), their characteristics and how the "rock cycle" works. We all found it quite interesting that marble is formed from limestone, which is created from shells!
We also had several students bring in rocks from home to share with the class.
Below is a web we created as a class to visually attach ideas to each rock catagory.
