5th Grade News by Sara Lincoln,
Exeter-Milligan 5th grade teacher
As the year is winding down, the Fifth Graders are
getting a little anxious, so to keep them engaged and interested in science, we
created a few science experiments relating to the rock cycle and
weathering. The first experiment was with water and M&M's. The
students stirred one cup to show how weathering affected the M&M. The
second one the students did was showing the different types of rocks;
Metamorphic, Igneous, and Sedimentary. They cut Starbursts into pieces
and molded them together to show Sedimentary rock. After they molded those
together they pressed the Sedimentary rock until it was flat, creating a
Metamorphic rock. We then put one of them in the microwave to create an
Igneous rock. The students really enjoyed this hands-on activity and learned so
much while doing it.
