Exploring Igneous Rocks: From Lava to Countertops

SciShow Kids

This engaging episode of Sci Kids! explores the fascinating world of igneous rocks, taking students on a geological journey from the moon's surface to their own kitchen countertops. Hosts Savannah and Sam (a puppet) investigate how different rocks form from cooling lava and magma, breaking down complex geological concepts into accessible, bite-sized lessons. The video uses clear visual analogies—like melting ice—and high-quality images of rock samples to demonstrate the transition from liquid to solid state.
