Week 14 Part 2

Rock Core Layer Sampler

SUPPLIES:

Straws x 5 (Cut in half or thirds)
Play Doh - varied colors

*We chose Play Doh because it was much easier than clay to manipulate, and yielded positive results, even with the younger children.

NOT SUPPLIED: Scissors

* Roll out each color in a thick layer, stack and lightly press the 3 colors together.

Push the straw into the clay and remove a “core” sample.

Let each student have a turn pulling their own sample.

Easy, Fun and memorable for the lesson!

Note: We found it easier to cut the clear straw at the core line instead of blowing out the sample.

This was neater and easier to handle and transport.
