1. 8/30/13Lesson Objectives: pg. 4 in journal What I expect you to learn To know and define the 3 main types of rocks To understand the different agents (causes) of weathering To know how sedimentary rock is formed To be able to define and perform (do to playdough/clay) –Weathering, erosion, deposition, cementation

2. The Rock Cycle

3. Hold on a minute Lets start over… from the begining

4. Make me: Tree map rock types pg. 5 3 Main rock types SedimentaryMetamorphicIgneous

5. Draw me on page 6

6. Wait… what did you say? Write these under the tree map Sedimentary: formed by cementing of sediment layers Metamorphic: transformed due to heat and pressure into another rock Igneous: Formed by cooling magma/lava

7. Now lets go one step at a time

8. Weathering, Not that kind of rock Definition: The breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces…. What can break rocks?

9. Erosion: The moving of sediment Wind, water, ice, animals can all erode!

10. Deposition: When the sediment that was being transported stops. Deposit.. Get it … like at a bank

11. Follow the arrows…

12. Hold on a second.. Not as bad as it looks

13. So.. Back to Weathering How can rocks be broken 3 main categories Physical: running water, freezing water, moving ice, rockslides Chemical: acid rain Biological (living things): plants and animals

14. The effects of weathering

17. Methods of transportation (erosion) Gravity Wind Water Ice

18. Formation of sedimentary rock Later this week we will make our own rocks So what will we use –Sediment –Cementing agent (ingredient), in nature these are minerals.. This can take a while (many many years) we have a week so we may cheat a bit.. Only a little –Water (helps compact and mix in the cementer)

19. Have a great weekend Thank you all very much, I have greatly enjoyed my first week as your teacher and look forward to the fun ways to learn ahead Homework over the weekend!?!?!?!?!?! –Bring 2 rocks to class next week…. See not so bad now is it.
