1. S TUDY H ALL Sit in your assigned seats and work on something quietly at your desk…. Grab your notebook and a sharp pencil….

2. W ARM UP Where do rocks come from?

3. V OLUNTEERS ?

4. I NTERACTIVE N OTEBOOK Q2 Add entry to Table of Contents 6.E.2.3 The Rock Cycle and Soil Notes Assign the next number

5. I NTERACTIVE N OTEBOOK Q2 Label Next Available Page: 6.E.2.3 The Rock Cycle and Soil Notes Number page to match Table of Contents entry Circle the number

6. W RITE IN NOTEBOOK Forces deep inside Earth and at the surface slowly build, destroy, and change rocks in the crust.

7. W RITE IN NOTEBOOK Plate movements start the rock cycle: magma forms (source of igneous rocks)

8. W RITE IN NOTEBOOK Plate movements cause crust faulting and folding (forms sedimentary and metamorphic rocks)

9. R OCK CYCLE VIDEO Rock cycle video with jelly beans http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =pm6cCg_Do6k

10. W RITE IN NOTEBOOK Minerals form as hot magma cools inside the crust, or as hot lava hardens on the surface.

11. W RITE IN NOTEBOOK Minerals are : the building blocks of all rocks made by the Earth (not manmade) not alive (inorganic) found in soils and water too

12. W RITE IN NOTEBOOK Minerals can be made of: 1 element (gold or silver) compounds of 2 or more elements (quartz and calcite)

13. W RITE IN NOTEBOOK Minerals typically form crystals (flat surfaces where the atoms join)

14. W RITE IN NOTEBOOK When some minerals dissolve in water, they leave behind a crystallized solution

17. R OCK C YCLE – F OLLOW ALONG ON YOUR WORKSHEET. B E SURE TO COLOR AND LABEL AS INDICATED. F ILL IN THE DEFINITIONS BELOW THE DIAGRAM AS WELL.

18. M AGMA – ROCK THAT HAS MELTED UNDER INTENSE HEAT AND PRESSURE Magma Melting

19. I GNEOUS R OCK – MAGMA OR LAVA THAT HAS COOLED AND SOLIDIFIED ( BECOME SOLID ) Igneous Rock Cooling

20. S EDIMENTS – SMALL PIECES CREATED WHEN ANY KIND OF ROCKS ARE WORN DOWN BY WEATHERING AND EROSION Sediments Weathering & Erosion

21. C OMPACTION – SEDIMENTS FORM LAYERS OVER TIME, AND THE LAYERS ARE PRESSED AND CEMENTED TOGETHER. Compaction

22. S EDIMENTARY R OCK – SEDIMENTS THAT HAVE COMPACTED OVER TIME, MAY CONTAIN ORGANIC MATTER AND FOSSILS Sedimentary Rock

23. M ETAMORPHIC R OCK – HEAT AND PRESSURE CHANGES THE ROCK. Heat & Pressure Metamorphic Rock

24. T HE CYCLE CONTINUES ……

25. C HECK OUR UNDERSTANDING How many different types of rock exist? 3 types of rock What are the names of these 3 rocks? Igneous, metamorphic, & sedimentary Do rocks ever change? Yes, with weathering erosion, heat and pressure, and melting Can an igneous rock only change into a sedimentary rock? Any rock can become any other rock – it is a cycle
