In class today we learned about rocks and the three different types, Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic. Dr. Klett gave each of us a rice krispies treat, a butterfingers, and a piece of peanut brittle and asked us to classify each of these as a type of rock. The peanut brittle is melted together, which is an example of igneous rock. The butterfingers has several thin layers (foliated) inside of the chocolate, which is a great example of metamorphic rock. The rice krispies treat can represent a sedimentary rock because it is a bunch of bits and pieces glued together. This was a great representation of the different rocks in a fun and unique way.
