Original Prompt

Experiment is on sedimentary rocks using jolly rancher candies ... provide a grade 5 worksheet grade using the scientific process students will need to fill out before during and after the experiment is complete

This learning resource focuses on sedimentary rock science, specifically how these rocks form over time through the processes of sediment accumulation, compaction, and pressure. Students will engage in a hands-on experiment using Jolly Rancher candies to simulate the formation of sedimentary rocks while applying the scientific method. The document outlines various components, including key vocabulary related to sedimentary processes, the scientific hypothesis, and variable identification. Additionally, it includes a balloon rocket activity for further exploration of scientific concepts, allowing students to make observations and reflect on their learnings.
