A Creative Exploration of Geological Processes 📚🔬

This week, our Year Group 9 learners at Valistus dove into the rock cycle—with a delicious twist! Using chocolate as a creative medium, learners simulated geological processes such as melting, cooling, erosion, compaction, and metamorphism. 🍫🌍

From grating "sediment" to forming "igneous" and "metamorphic" rocks, learners worked collaboratively to mimic:

🌀 Weathering & Erosion

🔥 Heat & Pressure

❄ Melting & Cooling

The activity wasn’t just engaging—it helped cement key concepts in a memorable, hands-on way. Science was messy, fun, and full of teamwork! 👩‍🔬
