Alex - Rocks and Minerals
The title of my project is Rocks and Minerals.
I chose this project because I was always interested in rocks and what they are made of. What I did with this project was I made a 3-D model of a sedimentary rock, showed a collection of rocks I found, gave examples of national structures and/or sites that were made up of the 3 main types of rocks, sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks. Mount Rushmore is made of igneous rock and Stonehenge in England is also made of igneous rock. The main things that I learned about organizing and researching a project of this size was that rocks were made up of tiny bits and metamorphic and igneous rocks are formed underground. When I was little, I just thought of a rock as a rock, but now I think of rocks as a whole different thing ever since I did this project. What I look forward to doing in the science fair next year is the Study of Planets. I think this is an interesting project because in third grade, we did a whole study of planets, the moon, and the stars. When we did the study of the planets it interested me because it made me wonder what was out there and if there was life on any other planets. I do not know yet what I am going to do for the math fair.
