Granite

What are the ingredients that make rocks? Willow scientists examined granite and discovered the ingredients. Ask them what makes a rock.

We then made some of our own!

Rocks

Ask your Willow how crayons, a sharpener, pressure and hot water demonstrate how some rocks are formed. What process is it? Ask them to tell you about the rock cycle.

Exploring Rocks

Today Willow scientists observed rocks. They described attributes and generated wonder and hypotheses about rocks. After making observations students tested their ideas by putting their rocks under stereoscopes, and plopped them in water. "Cool!" "Wow!" Ask your resident scientist noticed, wondered, or thought about rocks today.
