Science Experiment

For Christmas Kayden received a box with geodes in it that he could break open using a chisel and hammer.  The first rock we tried cracking open is still not open, however, after about three nights and several tools later we decided to try and open a different rock, since the first one was proving to be far too stubborn (it must have taken some tips from Kayden) and what do you know, it opened easy peasy lemon squeezy.  It was really neat to see all the crystals inside and watch how the light reflects off of them differently. 

Kayden managed to cut most of my head out of the pictures he took.

It really was a fun project and we have a few more rocks to break open at some point.  Curious if those rocks will look the same inside or not!
