# Rock detectives

   27 September 2022   [Bev Brown](https://alstonmoorfederation.org.uk/blog/author/bbrown)   [Science learning](https://alstonmoorfederation.org.uk/blog/category/science-learning)

As promised to our aspiring Petrologists and Geologists in Middle Fell here is a link to an interactive map that lets you search wherever you want and look at the bedrock of that area:

<https://geologyviewer.bgs.ac.uk/?_ga=2.230121052.1716800702.1662980226-426992032.1662980226>

We had fun exploring the school grounds this afternoon to look for clues as to the local area's bedrock. We found most walls and buildings were sedimentary and man-made rocks. Hopefully your child can share something they discovered today with you! :)
