⛰️ Sugar vs. Geode Comparison
Critical Thinking & Problem Solving
Submission Required
Students examine images of igneous rocks and evaporite minerals and compare them to sugar crystals. In pairs, they identify similarities (cooling, evaporation, time) and differences (pressure, timescale) and connect these processes to the essential question about how small-scale experiments model geological change.
