Experiment with soil, sand, gravel, rocks and water. OR Make a crystal garden.
Place sand, soil, gravel, rocks, and water in a quart jar and gently shake it. Let it stand for one hour and observe. Layers are called sedimentary rocks. OR grow a crystal garden. Wet several large chunks of rock thoroughly. Arrange rocks on the bottom of a large glass bowl. Pour over the rocks four tablespoons (1/4 cup) of water. Add four tablespoons (1/4 cup) liquid laundry bluing. Hold your nose and add four tablespoons ammonia. Sprinkle four tablespoons of salt evenly all over the rocks. Put a few drops of food coloring and a few drops of bluing on one or two rocks. In about three days add a mixture of two tablespoons water and two tablespoons ammonia and very carefully pour it into a puddle in the bowl. (If you pour it directly on the crystals you will melt them). Keep adding this water and ammonia mixture every few days.
Collect and display five different types of rocks. Identify and label them.
