Add to ORKGStudents have difficulty imagining rock layers and the wealth of information they contain. In this activity, students take their own "core sample" and correlate the layers of the Earth. Students graphically represent the layers of rock from their samples, correlate the layers found, and describe the conditions that can lead to their model formations.
