  2. Enduring Understandings -How do Rocks Form? • Different types of rocks can be classified by physical and/or chemical properties. • Rocks are grouped based on how they form. • There are 3 basic rock types with each forming in a different way. • Rocks are changed through weathering, heat, pressure and/or melting over a long period of time.

  3. Essential Questions What happens to a rock under pressure and/or heat over time? Why aren’t all crystals the same? Why don’t all crystals look the same? How can you change one type of rock into another?

  4. Essential Questions cont. How can you combine little rocks to make a big rock? How are the properties of each type of rock similar and/or different? If there is a pattern of rock formation or change, what is it?

  5. KS Sci Standards EARTH and SPACE SCIENCEStandard 4: Benchmark 1: structure of the earth continuously changing 1. ▲ identifies properties of the solid earth, 2. ▲ models earth’s cycles, constructive and destructive processes, and weather systems. SCIENCE AS INQUIRYStandard 1: scientific inquiry

  6. Background Knowledge • Structure of the earth • Plate tectonic, volcano, and earthquake • Use of whiteboards • Writing lab reports

  7. Instructional Goals • 1. Use physical characteristics to sort, organize, and/or identify rocks. • 2. Create a simple usable classification system for rocks. • 3. Investigate the process by which each type of rock (igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic) is formed.

  8. Instructional Goals (cont.) • 4. Relate the concepts of heat, pressure, and time to the formation of rocks. • 5. Create, use, and interpret charts, tables, and graphs. • 6. Become familiar with the following terms: igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic, compaction, cementation, mineral, and crystalization.

  9. Sequence of Unit • Pre-Test • Rock Chaos - Searching For Patterns • Growing Crystals - Igneous Rock • Real Rock Inc. -- Sedimentary Inquiry Lab • Layered Rocks -- Sedimentary Sandwich Activity • Metamorphic Rock Activity • Firming It All Up - Rock Cycle • Crayon Rock Cycle • Rice Krispie Rock Debate (optional) • Top ten Rock List (optional) • Post Test • Rock Chaos Revisited
