Recently, as part of our new topic, Rocks,Relics and Rumbles, Year 3 embarked on a fantastic investigation into the fascinating world of rocks using hand lenses. We examined various samples and learned about the three different types: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.
Using our hand lenses, we observed the unique textures and patterns of each rock. We also explored whether they were permeable or impermeable using pipettes and water. Surprisingly, many sedimentary rocks turned out to be quite permeable, while most igneous rocks were impermeable. This hands-on experience not only deepened our understanding of geology but also made science really fun. We can’t wait to conduct more investigations!
