Creation of Igenous Rocks!

Here is the voice thread. In this voice thread you see the steps of creating the Igneous rock. Each child gets to participate and help create the rock. You start out using the heat can to melt the crayons which represents the melting lava of the volcano. Each child then walks up to the can and places their crayon in the volcano adding to the lava. The when the crayons melts it represents the lava. When the volcano "erupts" it creates the rocks. Mrs. Williams shows how the different formations of the rocks are made either smooth or bumpy. The smooth rock is created over the water and the bumpy is created over the ice.
