Subject: Grain Sizes of Clastic Sedimentary Rocks
Description: In this minivideo we identify the four size categories for the sediment that will contribute to clastic sedimentary rocks. We use common items as stand-ins for the grain sizes. (Which is sand-sized - ground coffee, orzo pasta, or unpopped popcorn?) Then we show you pictures of clastic sedimentary rocks to see if you can name the rock types. Fun! Take a look, it will make you think differently about quinoa in a very non-hipstery kind of way.
