Making our own rocks

This afternoon 3S have been looking at the 3 different types of rocks. Metamorphic, igneous and sedimentary. We have been looking at how they are formed and have used starbursts to help us visualise how each rock is formed. We began by applying some pressure and heat to the sediment to form sedimentary rocks, then we applied even more pressure and heat to turn them into metamorphic rocks and finally we melted the rock and let it cool down to form igneous rock.
