• We have brought along a collection of real volcanic rock from Bristol University for you to investigate
• Look carefully- • Can you see any bubbles in the rock?• Can you find any crystals?• Can you see anything that has melted in the lava?• Can you find a volcanic bomb?• Can you find some wiggly lava?
• We have brought along a few rocks that are not from Volcanoes- can you work out which ones they are?
