Sedimentary, Igneous, and Metamorphic Rock Snacks

Remember how I promised, 

MONTHS ago,

to post about how we

"ate up"

information on different rock forms?

I have FINALLY decided to get around to that!

:0)

In THIS post,

I showed how the kiddos and I used the

AIMS Earth Rocks!

unit study to create different models

of the three basic rock formations:

Sedimentary, Igneous, and Metamorphic.

To solidify all that we learned about rock formations,

we also created some tasty snack

with our

Lemonhead Homeschool Group,

using ideas/recipes from the

Beakers and Bumblebees Blog.

Sedimentary Rock Pie Crust

Since our Lemonhead friends are allergic to gluten,

we modified this recipe with

Lady J's gluten free cookies.

Also, we did not make individual models,

but rather one big model

to share.

And in case you wanted to know,

here is how we demonstrated the elements

breaking down bigger rocks and sediments

as part of the making of

Sedimentary rock...

Yep-
we used drumsticks.

Igneous Rock Chocolate Drops

Yes-

we know what these blobs of chocolate look like-

but they still tasted yummy!

Again,

we modified this recipe and used

chocolate chips.

They did not harden as well as I would have liked,

but they still demonstrated how Igneous rocks form.

MMM-MMM-Good Metamorphic Rocks

Smashing Snickers-

what could make rocks

more run than that?

Here are the finished products
of our rock making fun:

Good Learning Fun!
