How
can a
sedimentary rock
change into an
igneous rock?
Volunteers…
 Remember
for any rock to change into an
igneous rock, it must first return into the mantle
to melt. Once it becomes mantle material, it
must travel back up to the surface through a
volcano. Once on the surface as lava, it cools
into igneous rock.
 Does everyone understand this process?
Today’s Agenda:
 1.
Check homework – Trade and Grade
(this is the Ed Helper assignment “Three
Kinds of Rock”, Ring of Fire Plotting
activity, and the Pangaea Puzzle
 2. Finish Rock Cycle color coding activity
and check for understanding
 3. Independent Work – Graphic Organizer
and Choice Activity Board

Bill Nye, the science GUY!
You will complete a worksheet as you watch
the video….
Listen carefully as the video is playing and fill
in the correct answers as you hear them
Does anyone have any questions?
Today’s Agenda:
 “Rocks
around the Room”
 You will receive a handout that will help you
identify each sample as either igneous,
metamorphic, or sedimentary
 We will go over the handout now
 These are in sheet protectors (Do not take
them out please)
Today’s Agenda:
 “Rocks
around the Room”
 You will draw the following table in your
notebook
 You have 4 minutes to draw this table

GO
Rock Identification
I
will pass out different rocks and you will
use your notes to determine which type of
rock it is.

 You
will get a total of six rocks.
 You will describe (with details) what the
rock looks and feels like.

Today’s Agenda:
 “Rocks
around the Room”
 We will go over the table requirements now
 You will count off from 1-6
 You will start in the station that matches your
number and stay in that station until the timer
goes off
 Once the timer sounds, you will go to the next
station in numerical order!
 (if you are at 6 then you will go to station 1 next)
Today’s Agenda:
 “Rocks
around the Room”
 You will have 4 minutes in each station
 Write fast and make sure your conversation is
about ROCKS!
 4 minutes GO!
ROCKS = COOKIE, HOW CAN THAT
BE?
 The
rocks you see around you - the mountains,
canyons & riverbeds, are all made of minerals.
 A rock is made up of 2 or more minerals.
Think of a chocolate chip cookie as a rock.
The cookie is made of flour, butter, sugar &
chocolate.
 The cookie is like a rock and the flour, butter,
sugar & chocolate are like minerals.
 You need minerals to make rocks, but you don't
need rocks to make minerals.
 All rocks are made of minerals.
“Rocks and Minerals LABS
 ADD
ENTRY INTO YOUR TABLE OF
CONTENTS:
 Rocks and Minerals Lab
 ASSIGN
THE NEXT NUMBER, LABEL AND
NUMBER THE NEXT AVAILABLE PAGE
Today’s Agenda:
 3.
Various Labs!
 We will begin with a rotation around the
room activity called “Rocks around the
Room”
 You will work around the room observing
different rock samples
 These sample are in numbered baggies (DO
NOT TAKE THEM OUT OF THE BAGS OR
HANDLE THEM ROUGH – THEY WILL BREAK)
