1. Earth Science Standard
ES2H – The rock cycle describes the formation of igneous rock from magma or lava, sedimentary rock from compactions of eroded particles and metamorphic rock by heating and pressure.
SWBAT… identify samples of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rock from their properties and describe how their properties provide evidence of how they were formed
Explain how one kind of rock could eventually become a different kind of rock

2.
Warm-Up What is this a picture of? How was it made? Hint: W, E and D Think about the main things we have learned so far.
Weathering – water broke apart rock
Erosion – water carried rock away
Deposition – rock dumped in another place, leaving a canyon
Grand Canyon, Arizona

3. Review Beach formations
Groynes…
Sand gets trapped
Can’t move down the beach
Did you make a… Cliff Notch

4. Beach Experiments
You are going to try to make each of the beach features below… Cliff Spit Wave cut notch You will also try to make long shore drift and see how a groin affects sand movement.

5. Goal for today
Make observations about many different types of rocks and learn how scientists use common language to name rocks. Ask questions about where the rocks came from.

6. Background Information
Textbook reading – Everyone needs their textbook (pgs ) Taking notes – Follow along and fill in the blanks as I read
