Day 18- Introduction
In your notebook, glue in the ROCKS VOCABULARY
On the next page, insert the ROCK FORMATION ARTICLE. Read and annotate the article using the Mountie 5.
Following the ROCK FORMATION ARTICLE, complete the ROCKS GRAPHIC ORGANIZER using the information from the rock formation article.
Finally, complete the ROCK CYCLE DIAGRAM and insert it in your notebook by folding it in half (hamburger style).

Day 19- Rock it out
- Create a chart that describe the three different classifications of rock. Include how each type of rock is identified, how it is created, different sub-groups for each classification, and some examples of each.
- How do weather conditions under which rocks form change the physical stability of rocks?
- Does every rock go through the complete rock cycle by changing from igneous rock, to metamorphic rock, to sedimentary rock and back to igneous rock? Explain your answer.
- How could sedimentary rocks provide evidence that the rock cycle exists?
- What are at least 3 factors that will impact the melting of rocks?
- How do different cooling rates of magma impact the texture of igneous rocks?
- Describe 5 intrusive rock structures and 4 extrusive rock structures.
- If you wanted to create a rock that had large crystals in the lab, what conditions would you have to control? Explain your answer.
- Compare and contrast compaction and cementation to form sedimentary rocks.
- Describe 7 features that you can use to identify the environment in which sedimentary rocks are formed.
- Describe the process of metamorphism in rocks.
- Compare and contrast foliated and non foliated metamorphic rocks.
- The Himalaya Mountains are located on a boundary between two colliding tectonic plates. Would most of the metamorphic rock in that area occur in small patches or in wide regions? Explain your answer.
Day 20- Rock Cycle Poster
You will create a poster that diagrams the rock cycle, as well as gives basic information about the rock cycle. The poster must be in color, with your number on the front of the poster in the lower right hand corner.
