PTT:
1) Turn to p. 50 - review the rock cycle
2) Turn to p. 52 - review the rock cycle vocabulary
Task 1:
Take rock cycle quiz
Task 2:
Spend 10 minutes working on rock cycle comic

3) Go to lab and work in groups to complete parts 1 and 2 of the lab
4) After completing these two parts of the lab, carefully wrap your crayon rock and label it with your names. Put it in the bucket on the front lab counter to save for the next class period.
Closure:
What do you understand better about how sedimentary rocks from? Discuss with your group partners.
Week 13, Day 2
PTT:
1) Self-check: turn to p. 54 - what have you completed in the crayon rock cycle activity?
2) Take a look at this diagram. Think to yourself: Does it accurately represent the rock cycle? Do you think doing a lab that mimics the rock cycle will help you understand it better?
Task 1:
1) Get in your groups.
2) Complete the crayon rock cycle lab while filling out the worksheet of observations.
3) Clean up your lab station when you are done
Task 2:
1) Answer the reflection questions (graded assignment): can be found here. Make a copy and put it in your google drive science folder as well.
Use my diigo links under "rocks and minerals" or "rock cycle" to help you complete the questions as needed. Answer the questions with LOTS of detail.
Reminder: What did we do to simulate the rock cycle?
Weathering: shave crayons, Erosion: pick up crayons and move them, Deposition: drop crayon shavings onto aluminum foil & fold into packet.Compaction to form Sedimentary Rocks: put packet into vise & apply light pressure. Heat & Pressure to form Metamorphic Rocks: put packet into vise & apply heavy pressure. Melting and Cooling to form Igneous Rocks: melt crayon shavings, pour over ice cubes to form "pumice," into ice water to form "obsidian," and over warm/hot water to form intrusive rocks, such as "diorite" and granite."
Closure: p. 54 (at the bottom)
Write a summary statement that explains what you learned.
Potential sentence starter: I learned that sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic forms change from one type to another when...
Homework:
1) Comic strips are due!!!
2) Finish the reflection questions for Friday
Week 13, Day 3
PTT:
1) Turn in your rock cycle comic strip if you haven't yet
2) Turn to page 55 in your science notebook
3) Title the page: The 3 Types of Rock
4) Record the essential question Essential Question: How to we identify the 3 types of rock?
5) Record the date
6) Go on to task 1
Task 1:
1) Make sure you have the crayon rock cycle reflection questions (graded assignment): can be found here. If you haven't yet, make a copy and put it in your google drive science folder.
2) Spend 10 minutes working on the rock cycle reflection questions
Task 2:
1) Follow along with the presentation and take notes while I'm speaking
2) Use this document to go back and finish the notes on your own:
Task 1: Presentation Guided Notes
1) Turn to p. 56 in your science notebook
2) You should have printed out your notes from the speaker on Wednesday. Please tape them to this page.
Task 2: Rock Observations
1) Turn to p. 57
2) Title the page: Rock Observations
3) Record the date
4) Record the essential question: What characteristics allow us to identify the different types of rocks?
5) Make a 3 column chart that takes up the whole page - label each column igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic
6) You will go up one at a time to get a rock and make observations about it, recording the information in the appropriate column. Use the guidelines below to make sure your observations are complete.
For all rock types:
What is the name of the rock?
For igneous rocks: What does it look like? What does it feel like? What is it made of? Can you see crystals? Mafic or Felsic? Intrusive or Extrusive?
For metamorphic rocks: What does it look like?
What does it feel like?
What is it made of?
Foliated or Non-Foliated?
For sedimentary rocks: What does it look like?
What does it feel like?
What is it made of?
Where is it found?
Task 3/Closure: Check your understanding (closure)
1) Watch Brainpop video on "Types of Rocks"
2) Draw a Y-chart like can be seen below
