Rocks

Today in class we drew up a model of the rock cycle. We had to draw this diagram on our own without any resources to see what we knew. I was able to draw out a picture that I thought was a pretty good representation of the rock cycle but I had a hard time filling in all the blank spaces, so I finished it as we went through the lesson as a class.
Here is my drawing:
Next in class we were given "models" of the three different kinds of rocks. One of each a sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic. 

First, we were given a rice krispy treat. This is a representation of a sedimentary rock. 
Second, we were given a butterfingers candy bar. After biting off the tip of the candy bar it was a wonderful representation of a metamorphic rock. 

Lastly, we were given a Werther's original hard candy. Due to the small crystals closely stuck together we were able to see the representation of a igneous rock.
