Geodes

Take a look at the following picture:

What if  I told you that this ordinary, boring looking rock had a surprise inside?  What do you think it could be?  I would like to send you on an internet quest to discover the treasures hidden inside this rock.  This rock is called a geode, and from the outside, it appears to be a light gray rock in a spherical shape.  However, this geode has been creating a treasure inside for millions of years.  So first, watch this video about how geodes are formed, and what it takes to find these magical rocks here:

Hunting For Geodes

 

Next, watch the following video about what you may find inside a geode after you crack it open:

Now it is your turn to predict what you think the inside of the above geode will look like.  Type in a few words on the wallwisher below to describe the colors, crystals, and interior of the geode above.

We will be breaking open geodes to see what is hiding inside of them very soon!  In the meantime, check out the following website:
