Experiment Sheet - Crayon Rocks: Mr. Bexson: Grade 7 Earth Science

This document appears to be from a 7th grade earth science class experiment using crayons to demonstrate how rocks are formed. It has four phases representing different natural processes: phase 1 is sedimentary, phase 2 is compaction, phase 3 adds heat and pressure to become metamorphic, and phase 4 simulates igneous rock formation. The experiment aims to show students that rocks form through natural geological processes in the earth over long periods of time, not instantly like manufactured objects.
