Models and Simulations

What is a model and how do you model a rock? Can you create the model of a rock?

A model is a way of representing something you can't normally see.
You can model a rock using different materials such as making a rock out of clay.
I could create a model of a rock with clay, paper, or other materials.

He gave us a lucky charms bar and we need to describe what this model is representing:

It is a model of a sedimentary rock because it shows bits and pieces glued together we call these bits and pieces plastics.

A metamorphic rock has very thin layers of banding (foliation)
      A model of a metamorphic rock would be a butterfinger.

The final type of rock is the igneous model
    A model of this is the sugar rock crystals that we made last week.
