We layered lots of yummy things... 
to represent the different kinds of stones you can find...
We added pressure and then heat by baking it in the oven
to represent factors that change rock to Metamorphic Rocks.
We dropped stones into a bowl of smooth flour...
to compare factors that might affect how craters are made on the moon...
such as the size of the rocks or the speed at which they hit.
We held the rock at different heights to test different speeds.
We painted on damp plaster like the Minoan Frescoes.

It was flaky, soft, fluffy and cool to the touch... 
Very cool stuff.
We snacked on the Metamorphic Rock bars.

We played with Instant Snow.

Very cool stuff.
We snacked on the Metamorphic Rock bars. They made very nice bar cookies, and showed nicely how metamorphic rocks change from their original rock beginnings, but not so much that you cannot tell where they came. They retain some of the qualities of their original form, but change some of their qualities as well. We will look at these changes later on this week.
