a notepad with some drawings on it that says formation of sedimentary rocks

We are done with Physical Science and have moved on to Eaarth Science! There are so many fun labs to do here, and the kids love them! I have new anchor charts to add to my collection, too. Formation of sedimentary rocks and Types of soil, which we will fill out tomorrow. It doesn't look like much, yet, but this is just the shell I made before class so we can fill it out together. Have a great night!

a piece of rock that looks like it has been cut into pieces

This is a classic example of a breccia in that the grains that make up the sedimentary rock are very angular and have a variety of sizes (poorly sorted). The specimen has been cut and polished to better show the fragmented grains and the accumulation of cement. This breccia formed along a fault zone. The brecciated zone also provided an avenue for ground water to percolate and deposit the calcium carbonate (calcite) cement that has resulted in the lithification of the sediment.
