1. Thank you for not chewing gum 
Materials:
Pencil, science notebook & folder, IAES book
September 28
Today’s Agenda:
Bell work
Crayon Rock Cycle
Objective:
Today we will simulate the rock cycle.
Daily Question:
Choose one of the 3 types of rock and describe how it is formed.

2. Characteristics of Rocks
Igneous
Sedimentary
Metamorphic
No grains
Some have crystals that look like interlocking puzzle pieces
Some have holes
Uniform texture and pattern throughout rock
No layers or swirls
Can see grains
Grains are different sizes
Has layers or streaks
Grains come off when you touch
Lighter in weight than other rocks
Has very small crystals
Many colors
Very hard
Swirl patterns
Bands of color

3. Melting
Weathering and erosion

4. Rock: Solid object composed of minerals
Mineral: Naturally occurring, solid, with a crystalline structure and non-living
Ore:  type of rock contains sufficient mineral that have important elements that can be extracted.
The ores are extracted through mining these are then refined to extract the valuable element(s).

5. 1) Do you think igneous rock could be turned into sedimentary rock? How? 2) Could any rock be turned directly into metamorphic rock? How? 3) Could metamorphic turn directly into sedimentary rock? How? 4) Add additional arrows across the middle of the rock cycle to illustrate that any type of rock can be turned into any other type of rock
Things to work on when you finish these questions:
Study Guide
Power paragraph about the acid test on rocks

6. Directions Follow the procedure at your workstation.
Fill out the Rock Cycle handout as you go along
On the back of the rock cycle handout fill out the diagram of the rock cycle & answer the questions.
