Rocks Are Like Cookies
By Cindy Grigg
A rock is a mix of two or more minerals. You need minerals to make
rocks, but you don't need rocks to make minerals. Think of a rock like
an oatmeal-chocolate chip-walnut cookie. The cookie is a mix of
ingredients. Some of them can easily be seen, like the oats, chocolate
chips, and nuts. Some can't be distinguished, like the eggs, butter, sugar,
and flour. Most rocks have several different ingredients, or minerals. In
some rocks, the minerals can't be seen as separate ingredients. In other
rocks, the minerals look like bumps, pockets of a different color, or
flakes. They are like the nuts, chocolate chips, and oats. You need nuts,
chocolate chips, and other ingredients to make cookies, but you don't
need cookies to make chocolate chips or nuts. Rocks and cookies are
made of different ingredients. The ingredients of rocks are minerals.
