ROCK CYCLE

Mountains are huge! Have you ever wondered what they are made of and how they got there? Here we investigate the rock cycle; formation (squashing and / or heating small particles to form a big rock), weathering (breaking down rock) and erosion (moving broken down particles which will once again form new rock). This cycle happens over and over again. Three different types of rock are formed in three different ways. This activity demonstrates the three rock cycle stages, but replaces rock with chocolate!
