WELCOME TO THE ROCK CYCLE!!!! : WELCOME TO THE ROCK CYCLE!!!! This week we will……..
Look more closely at the whole rock cycle.
Break down the individual parts of the rock cycle for each of the three types of rock.
Review for the test.
Answer students questions on the rock cycle or homework.
The Entire Rock Cycle!!!! : The Entire Rock Cycle!!!! This picture is from The Learning Zone. It shows everything but it is missing the names of the rock types. If you go the Learning Zone you will also see a cartoon attached to this photo. It is a nice site sponsored by Oxford University and can be found at this link:

YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO BREAK DOWN THE ROCK CYCLE : YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO BREAK DOWN THE ROCK CYCLE To do so, you will need to be able to:
Know that all rock is made up of minerals and all rock is on a continuous journey.
Know the rock cycle for each type of rock.
Know how each type can create the other types.
Fit the smaller rock cycles together in a table or picture, with arrows showing the order of each step.
Let’s first start with individual rock types.
Sedimentary Rocks : Sedimentary Rocks
Igneous Rocks : Igneous Rocks
Metamorphic Rock : Metamorphic Rock
Did You Notice Any Similarities?? : Did You Notice Any Similarities?? They can all form new sediment from erosion and weathering.
They all can be melted into magma.
They all can be heated and pressurized into new Metamorphic Rock.
They all are ingredients for forming each other!!!!!!
Therefore We Can Conclude… : Therefore We Can Conclude… The Earth never really loses matter!
The Earth constantly recycles its matter into new forms of rock all the time!
All new rock material is made from old rock material that was either turned into sediment, melted into magma, or heated and pressurized into metamorphic rock.
The same sand you build sandcastles with, or the soil you plant seeds in once was a rock thousands, millions, and even billions of years ago!
So Now You Try : So Now You Try We will now click onto the white board section and create together our own rock cycle diagram. I recommend you try drawing this diagram a couple of times to make sure you got it for the test.
