Can ice break a brick?

STEMScopes sedimentary rock and fossil fuels

Materials for sedimentary lab

The STEMScopes investigation requires some consumable materials:

Fruit loops

Cheerios

Bran flakes
Coco Pebbles
Coffee Grounds

Plastic cups

Zip lock bags

Goldfish *optional- to represent the decayed living material 

Sand dune QCE examples

Good use of additional vocabulary: sediment and indentation 

Another QCE example.

This QCE has a good start, but has areas to improve. They are on the right track just need some additional practice with the Claim (answering the question) and the Evidence (explaining their experience that helped them answer the question). 

Looking forward to the next unit
