As part of today’s lesson, we started an investigation to show how sedimentary rocks are formed. We mixed together sand, soil, stones and water in a jar, to replicate the bottom of the sea. We will see over time what happens to these sediments.
We could already see them starting to separate after just one day!

Sedimentary rocks have always fascinated me. They're like Earth's history books, each layer telling a story about what was happening on our planet millions of years ago. From the compacted sands of ancient beaches that became sandstone to the fossilized remains trapped in limestone, they offer a glimpse into past environments and the life that thrived there. It's amazing to think that the very ground beneath our feet can hold so much information waiting to be deciphered.
