Monday 1/6th
The Rock Cycle
 What is the rock cycle is
 How rocks change
STANDARD II.III.II.1 Describe the role of pressure (and heat) in the rock cyle.
Guided reading
TTW have students make a 4 square foldable and number their reading paragraphs and
read with their cooperative group and answer questions in the 12 squares and the
margins of their read and do.
TSW make a 4 square foldable and number their squares in relation to their paragraph.
Students will work in their cooperative groups.
Teacher will spot check to monitor progress, grade the read and do
As per IEP
Modified test, provide notes, visual, audio info etc.
Rock, rock cycle, sedimentary, metamorphic , igneous, compaction, cementation,
erosion, weathering, convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, subduction zone,
continental crust, oceanic crust, transverse fault, fault zones, minerals
The rock cycle is a fundamental concept in geology that describes the dynamic
transitions through geologic time among the three main rock types: sedimentary,
metamorphic, and igneous. As the diagram to the right illustrates, each of the types of
rocks are altered or destroyed when it is forced out of its equilibrium conditions. An
igneous rock such as basalt may break down and dissolve when exposed to the
atmosphere, or melt as it is subducted under a continent. Due to the driving forces of
the rock cycle, plate tectonics and the water cycle, rocks do not remain in equilibrium
and are forced to change as they encounter new environments.

The Rock Cycle
•
What is the rock cycle is
•
How rocks change
STANDARD II.III.II.1 Describe the role of pressure (and heat) in the rock cyle.
Use of examples of rock samples of sedimentary, metamorphic, & igneous rocks
TTW have students record characteristics of the these rocks to later use to id rock
samples and their formations. Id the rock cycle by using colored pencils to add
information to the rock cycle. Color arrows that involve heat red, weathering and
erosion green, cooling blue, and compaction brown.
TSW will record characteristics of the rocks to id later samples of rocks to id and their
formations
Teacher will go to each table and have students put the rocks in there correct formation
when they formed
Rock, rock cycle, sedimentary, metamorphic , igneous, compaction, cementation,
erosion, weathering, convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, subduction zone,
continental crust, oceanic crust, transverse fault, fault zones, minerals

TTW have students recall correct spelling for the new elements the 3 rd 9 weeks. TTW
have students record characteristics of the these rocks to later use to id rock samples
and their formations. Id the rock cycle by using colored pencils to add information to
the rock cycle. Color arrows that involve heat red, weathering and erosion green,
cooling blue, and compaction brown.
TSW spell correctly with 100% accuracy the spelling, if not retake until 100%
accuracy. TSW will record characteristics of the rocks to id later samples of rocks to
id and their formations
Record spelling for a grade
Rock, rock cycle, sedimentary, metamorphic , igneous, compaction, cementation,

TTW show a short video to students to listen to a record key words to complete
statements dealing with the rock cycle.
