Understanding the Rock Cycle: Types of Rocks and Homework Assignment

This homework packet, due on Wednesday, December 14th, covers the three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, and explores the rock cycle concept. Students are required to illustrate each rock type in their notebooks, labeling igneous as either intrusive or extrusive, sedimentary as clastic, organic, or chemical, and metamorphic as foliated or non-foliated. For a creative assignment, students are to collaborate with a peer to write a poem or song that includes four verses about these rock types and the rock cycle, emphasizing the transformation of rocks.
