1. The Rock Cycle“The rocks under our feet seem permanent, but they are constantly being changed”-Dorling Kindersley
2. I. RocksA. Rock: a solid material made of one or more minerals , organic materials and/or chemical substancesMEMORY JOGGER: A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic substance with a definite chemical composition
3. II. Three Main Groups of RocksA. Igneous – formed by the cooling & solidification of molten rock (magma)
4. B. Sedimentary – formed by the compaction & cementation of layers of sediment (rock fragments, organic remains, chemical deposits)
5. C. Metamorphic – formed when existing rocks are CHANGED by intense heat & pressure but DO NOT MELT
6. III. The Rock CycleROCK CYCLE: Shows how each type of rock forms & how each rock can change into a different type of rock Example: How does an igneous rock form and how can an igneous rock turn into a metamorphic rock?C. Rocks gradually and continually change from one type to another
7. IV. The Rock Cycle and the ESRT (page 6)
8. V. Reading the Rock Cycle DiagramThe words inside the rectangles represent the three main rock typesThe words inside the bubbles represent the “ingredients” needed to form certain rock types
9. V. Reading the Rock Cycle Diagram (continued)3. The arrows represent the processes that cause the rocks and “ingredients” to formWeathering = to break downErosion = to move awayDeposition= To leave offUplift= to bring to the surface
10. V. Reading the Rock Cycle Diagram (continued)e. Compacted = To reduce the size or volume of rock layers due to pressuref. Cementation= To join sediments togetherg. Solidification= Changing of a liquid to a solid due to a loss of heat energyh. Metamorphism= The changing of a rock due to heat and pressure

FLIPPED NOTES VIDEOWatch the following video on the Rock Cycle from Bill Nye. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsIHV__voMkNOTE: THERE ARE MORE VIDEOS ON THE NEXT SLIDE IF YOU’RE INTERESTEDBeyond this slide is NOT your responsibility for the Flipped assignment- we will be covering this information/RAFT assignment in class.

13. RAFT ASSIGNMENT(due _____________)Scenario: An elementary school teacher has been having difficulty teaching some of her students about the rock cycle. She has asked for help from high school students to work with her students to explain the concepts. The teacher has asked you to come up with a way to explain the rock cycle to her second grade students. She has asked you to choose one of the format options listed in the table below.
14. ROLEAUDIENCEFORMATTASKA mentoring/tutoring student from the high schoolA second grade classOption 1: Write a short story Option 2: Write a song Option 3: Write a poem Option 4: Draw a comic script Option 5: Draw a poster with a detailed caption Option 6: Build a model of the rock cycle using clay or another similar methodDescribe the path that a rock may take through the rock cycle. Your product (story, song, poem, illustration, etc) MUST include the three rock types (igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary) and the proper way steps of the rock cycle inbetween
15. RAFT Class Time ExpectationsFeel free to brainstorm project ideas with the person sitting next to youMarkers and printer paper are available in the back of the roomUse this time wisely to get started on the assignment. Ask me questions if you have them!
16. Keep your voices low so that other students can focus and hear each otherBy the end of the time given, you need to have your format chosen and begin organizing your productWe will be coming back together as a class around 2:05 for“Thought Bubbles”
17. THOUGHT BUBBLESIn your thought bubbles, respond to one of the following questions about today’s class:What is one thing that you learned about Earth Science today? What is one thing related to Earth Science that surprised you today? What is one way that the rock cycle is relevant or important to us? What are you left wondering about in regards to Earth Science and rock or the rock cycle?
