1. Warm-Up- What was the best thing you did over winter break?

2.  A mixture of minerals, volcanic glass, organic matter, or other materials.

3.  A model that illustrates the processes that creates and changes rocks.  Cycle shows 3 types of rock  Igneous  Metamorphic  Sedimentary

4.  Rock that forms when magma cools and hardens  Intrusive Igneous: cool inside the volcano  Extrusive Igneous: cool outside of the volcano

5.  Rocks that have changed because of changes in temperature and pressure or the presence of hot watery fluids.  Foliated Rocks: When mineral grains flatten and line up in parallel layers  Nonfoliated Rocks: no layers are formed

6.  Loose material such as rock fragments, mineral grains and bits of shell that has been moved by wind, water, ice or gravity.

7.  Rocks that form when sediments are pressed and cemented together.

9. Steps in the Rock CyclePossible places they could have come from Possible Next steps Sedimentary Rock Metamorphic Igneous Sediment Magma

10.  Start at a station 1-11  Roll the dice – record your starting point and your roll in your journal  Follow the directions of your die (move or stay)  Keep playing until I call time

11.  Where did you spend most of your time?  What might be some reasons that some people went to every station while others only went to four or five?  What might be a reason that everyone followed a different path?  How does the water cycle influence the rock cycle?  In what kinds of environments do sedimentary rock form? Igneous? Metamorphic? Write a narration, song or poem from the view point of the element about 2 million years (7 stations) of their life in the rock cycle. Life story of the elements you followed through the cycle
