2. By adding pressure to the candy with the book, we were able to form a model of metamorphic rock igneous rock

Did you know that metamorphic rocks are formed under intense heat and pressure, similar to how your candy model behaves? When existing rocks come into contact with high temperatures and pressures, they change both their texture and mineral composition, resulting in beautiful formations like schist and gneiss! Just like that candy, which morphs under your book's weight, real rocks transform over time. On the flip side, igneous rocks are created when magma cools and solidifies. Think of it like waiting for a delicious homemade fudge to set! When the molten rock from volcanic eruptions cools, it can form everything from smooth basalt to glittery granite. This process is a bit like a sweet science experiment but with much higher stakes…and no tasting allowed!
