Does anyone else think the cover art of the farm looks like Yoshi's Story?
In any case, another magnificent science story courtesy of pastel ponies. Thank you for it.
(I assume Igneous made sure Pinkie cleaned up after herself.)
I wish more lectures are done using cooking demonstrations.
I imagined the entire lecture in Maud's deadpan voice while Pinkie buzzed around behind her.
So, Pinkie is millions of years old?
This was really cute. I loved it haha
"So, class, what did we learn today?"
"Rocks are fun to eat!"

That would be the domain of Princess Terrea, the little-known middle alicorn sister. She's got a stationary bike hooked up to a bunch of gears down in the Canterlot Castle basement.
Yet another fantastic science lecture brought to us by various coloured ponies meant for little girls.
I love it, and I wish more lessons were taught this way in schools so kids actually learned something every now and again.
Thanks for sharing this with the world!
That is extremely well thought out and great demonstative exercise. Stealing that because awesome when I want to teach that.
This was an awesome story! More teachers should teach geology basics like this.
Dont forget the best volcanos are made in the kitchen.
Baking powder.
4154939 The very best volcanos have to be made under a fume hood. But they do include a surprise visit from Cthulhu. Behold the power of a burning pile of ammonium dichromate, with pellets of mercury(II) thiocyanate mixed in:

Sweet hell that's awesome.

Dammit, now I really wish Id bought those packs of Snake Eggs when they were on sale in the local joke shop 30 years ago
Now banned due to toxic chemicals, heavy metals, and kids having fun and learning something.
4156773 I'm not sure that "mercury vapour destroys your brain" is a lesson you want to teach through hands-on practical demonstrations.
But "nitrocellulose is easy to make and burns fast enough not to warm the surface it's resting on as it detonates" is an excellent candidate, as I can personally attest. It's also a perfect teaching moment for proper safety procedures regarding strong acids and explosives
That story was very gneiss
That was great!
Mmm. I do love me some relief fudge. Mmmmm.
Very excellently done. Though I suspect getting an adult if you want to make a mess in the kitchen too
...man, why couldn't my teachers have done that?! Telling people how cool science is with dessert is boss.

Wonderful! Mind you, I tend to think of the rock cycle begining and ending with sediments, but the cycle really has no begining or end.
Organisms can also leave tracefossils while they live such as fossilized burrows of worms from the Ediacaran and trackways of fishapods from the Devonian.

I'm assuming that 'cleaning up' meant everypony else turned their back on Pinkie for ten seconds, after which time no trace of chocolate or caramel remained visible in the kitchen. (Though there were likely still a few buttery stains on the countertop).
OMG adorable
That was wonderful. I may have to keep the demo in mind for future reference.
This story rocked.
I'm not going to repeat what been said already, as that's obvious.
So I'm gonna say this:
You don't see many stories set at the rock farm, and this is one of the good ones.
Small Typo: "threw this is as well"

Thanks
This brings back memories. So, bit of backstory, I'm studying Materials Science right now. Last year, one of my professors did a demo where he passed out different types of chocolate. The plan was to have us break off pieces so we could catalog which ones were the most brittle, and then suck on them to compare melting points. It was fun.
"Huh, huh, huh, she said schist."
Did NOT expect that to be on the tour!
Is the Pie family registered with the Equestrian NRC? Is cake uranium part of Pinkie's repertoire? 
Also:
s/b "there"
Can only imagine the in-depth lectures Maud will be able to give once she completes her Rocktorate!

Thanks. I mentioned the Pie family's nuclear fuel line to be compatible with my other story: Rock Farms and Nuclear Reactors, which gives full details.

Oh wow, off i go to read that then!
The Pies are a wonderfully weird and quirky family in and out of the show's canon. That's what everyone loves about them.
Sometimes, the easiest way of explaining something to others is with sweets. Also, have you got any salted caramel fudge?!
Gneiss story.
