This week in science, children became rock detectives! 
They learned about the properties of metamorphic, igneous and sedimentary rocks with several different tests.
Firstly, children observed the rocks - there are lots of clues as to what kind of rock it might be in their appearance!
Next, children tested how hard a rock was. This involved scraping various objects against the rock to see if it left a scratch or crumbled.
After that, children dropped water onto the rock to see if it would absorb water.
Finally, children dropped vinegar onto the rocks to see if it would react to a mild acid. 

We learned a lot about the properties of different rocks and loved testing out lots of different types of rocks!
