Rocks and Cookies

This week we are learning about rocks.  Students went on a nature walk on the playground to find unique rocks.  We are identifying, looking at them under a magnifying glass and also learning what rocks are made of.  Today we grouped with another class and baked cookies.  This activity allowed the students to see how rocks are made.  We used ingredients(minerals) to make cookie dough.  We then used heat to complete the cookie(rock forming) process.
