2. Journey on the Rock Cycle Comic Strip
Purpose: To show that I can create a model to describe the cycling of Earth's rock-forming materials and the flow of energy that drives this process
You are telling a story through your comic

3. What do I need to show in my comic?
My model correctly shows the types of Earth materials and processes involved in rock formation, along with one source of energy.
My model correctly shows how one source of energy causes rock forming materials to change over time. I also correctly show how each rock forming processes is connected to the others.
My model correctly shows the length of time and amount of space necessary for some of the rock forming processes to occur.
