Wednesday and Geodes

After watching a Power Point Presentation on the rock cycle, we went into the lab and cracked open geodes. It was fun seeing the crystals inside of them. We reviewed the different types of rocks in our rock box and learned what kinds of rocks they were, igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic. We put a piece of chalk in acid and watched as it bubbled and then we looked at a wide array of rocks and talked about what kind of rocks they might be.

The reading assignment is now to finish the chapter. I am hoping we will be ready for a test on Wednesday the 9th of April.
