Lolly Sedimentary rock

[chemical]

does any one have a simple recipe for Sedimentary rock or something similar. We are doing a science fair for a primary school on Tuesday and the cost is a issue.
Thank Lindy

Hi Lindy,
I can send you a copy of the recipes we got at the conference at St Mary's. There is chocolate fossils and some lolly rocks. Not sure how expensive it would be.
Let me know your Fax and I will send it to you.

Hi Lindy

Go to http//www.nasaexplores.com/show_k4_teacher_sh ... 0803103618 for some different recipes for various types of rocks. Looks like you could make it reasonably cheap by varying some of the ingredients. Very American but just use our alternatives.
Yum. Chocolate!

Theres a thing like tablet or fudge that can be made. Its like making fudge when you dont get the recipe quite right, and it goes grainy, with the sugar crystals forming. Its then said to be like sandstone. (And feels like it when youre eating it too... sweet but grainy)

I have a recipe using white , milk and dark chocolate. If you'd like I email it to you.
cheers

Could someone who posted originally on this topic please let me have the recipes for the choc fossils and lolly rocks. We have been studying earth science in Year 9 and as it is nearing the end of year we would like to do some "Fun Science" with the students.
Thanks
