1 The Rock cycle Igneous rock
LO:-to construct a description about the rock cycle Match up the correct name to the matching picture. Match up the picture to the definition. . Starter Hard rock formed by heat and pressure Metamorphic rock Sedimentary rock Rock which contains crystals and is made from volcanoes Igneous rock Soft rock which crumbles and has fossils

2 The Rock cycle Rocks underground that get heated and put under pressure are changed into metamorphic rock. When rocks underground that get heated so much they melt turn into magma. Magma is liquid rock.. Pressure can force magma out of the ground. This creates a volcano. When the magma cools it turns into solid rock, called extrusive igneous rock Areas of rock can move slowly upwards, pushed up by pressure of the rocks forming underneath. This is called uplift. Weathering breaks down rocks on the surface of the Earth. There are three types of weathering - physical, chemical and biological Rock particles are deposited in lakes and seas, where they build up to form layers. This starts the process of sedimentation which will create sedimentary rock Read the following text and write down 5 key words LO To construct a description about the rock cycle

3 Every rock has a story How could you change to Igneous rock ?
You are a large fragment of rock that is close to breaking away from a mountain. Your task is to write about what happens to you The following guidelines may help you. The beginning What type of rock are you? How did you break off the mountain? What was it like falling down the mountain What was it like eventually getting to the sea and falling to the bottom? Did you enjoy being squashed together with all the other sediment? What was it like being sediment for millions of years? What type of rock are you now? How could you change to Igneous rock ? LO To construct a description about the rock cycle

4 The rock cycle Write a simple statement about the rock cycle Level 3 .
LO To construct a description about the rock cycle Outcomes Write a simple statement about the rock cycle Level 3 . Write a few logical steps following the guide Level 4 Describes how two types of rocks are changed Level 5 Explain how all three rocks are changed form one to another Level 6
