Earth Science: Rocks Form in Different Ways Week 5

So none of the books I was looking for this week were available, and as such we opted just to play with the experiments in the book.  I mean who doesn't love food science!

So here is our counter space, all in the name of science this week.  I love it! :)

Monday

• Complete Evan-Moor ScienceWorks for Kids: Geology,Grades 1-3 "Rocks Are Formed In Different Ways - Lollipop Rocks" (page 37).

 

Lollipops were fun but definitely a spectator sport for Giraffe - that candy mess got hot! LOL!  We cooled them but didn't get the respected results, possibly because I halfed the recipe.  The girls definitely did not like the sugar on a stick! LOL!  (fun to make - not very tasty!)

Tuesday

• Complete Evan-Moor ScienceWorks for Kids: Geology, Grades 1-3 "Rocks Are Formed In Different Ways - Lot-O-Layers" (page 39).

Giraffe enjoyed making the layer cake.  We have peanut allergies in the house and considered using pretzels instead of nuts, but opted for Raisins instead.

Wednesday

• Complete Evan-Moor ScienceWorks for Kids: Geology, Grades 1-3 "Rocks Are Formed In Different Ways - Munchies" (page 38).

 

These were fun.  Turned out a little like Biscotti.  Read the description from the book to Giraffe while we assembled them, and she correctly surmised that the flour was kind of like the limestone.  We'll have enough for snacks for the next couple days.

Thursday

• Complete Evan-Moor ScienceWorks for Kids: Geology, Grades 1-3 "Rocks Are Formed In Different Ways - Summary Activities" mini book (page 40).
• Complete Evan-Moor ScienceWorks for Kids: Geology,, Grades 1-3 "Rocks Are Formed In Different Ways - Make Conglomerate Rocks" (pages 41). The version we used was entitled "Making a Rock at Home" (pages 30-31)
