Purple class enjoyed a fun science lesson: an experiment to learn about how fossils are formed and about sedimentary rocks. They used gummy sweets, white bread, wheat bread and cinnamon swirl bread.

To make it, they layered the bread and gummy candies, varying the three types of bread to demonstrate how sedimentary rocks are different layers of colours and materials. Next, they wrapped the bread in paper towels then piled some heavy books on top!

The bread was left with deep impressions of the gummy animals. This let them see how fossils are made from animals who have died and then been covered by rocks and sand and left under pressure for millions of years.
