What are rocks?
Today, we learned about the three different types of rock. We read the information and watched video clips of the formation of Igneous, Sedimentary and Metamorphic rocks. We also spoke about the human-made rocks like concrete and bricks.
Then, we worked in groups with a selection of rocks. We had to label them and group before deciding whether the rock is natural or human made.
We also became rocks detectives and investigated different types of rocks! We looked at their properties and made observation in relation to their permeability and durability. To test permeability, we added a few drops of water using the pipette onto the rock and observed whether it is absorbed.
