6/1/12 The Rock Cycle

Do Now: Write a sentence about the water cycle using these terms: Precipitation CondensationEvaporation.

Turn in Atmosphere HW

Objective: You will be able to explain how rocks can change from one type to another.

Let’s Review:

Condensation is when water vapor (gas) changes to liquid water.

Evaporation is when liquid water becomes water vapor.

Precipitation is any form of water falling from the sky.

Objective: You

Let’s Review: The Water CycleMost of the water

on earth is in the oceans.

There is no set order to the movement of water in the water cycle.

Most of the fresh water (not salty) on earth is in glaciers and ice caps.

Recipe for a CloudThere are three

things that you have to have in order to make a cloud:1. Water vapor in

the air2. A surface for the

water vapor to condense onto

3. A lower temperature

Today’s lesson is titled “Rock Cycle.”

Based on what you know about the Water Cycle, what do you think the Rock Cycle is?

Turn and Talk

Let’s look at the rock we made yesterday.

What did we call the broken pieces of rock (hint: vocabulary box yesterday)?

This rock is a sedimentary rock, a rock made of sediments.

Making sedimentsHow could we

turn these chunks of wax into “sediments?”

CAREFULLY use the blade of the scissors to scrape the wax creating “sediments.”

Scrape them onto the waxed paper.

2 minutes—GO!

1. Draw a picture of your “sediments” and label them “sediments.”

2. How did you make the sediments from the crayon?

3. How could a rock turn into sediments in real life?

4. How could we turn the crayon shaving “sediments” into a “sedimentary rock?”

Reflection Questions

How could we turn the crayon shaving “sediments” into a “sedimentary rock?”

PRESSURE!!!!

Spread the “sediments” out in an even layer on the waxed paper.

Place the other sheet of waxed paper on top.

Politely ask your teacher to come apply pressure.

CAREFULLY remove the top sheet of waxed paper so that you don’t break your “rock.”

Getting ready for the rolling pin

Sedimentary Rock

Rock formed from sediments by pressure and/or natural cementing.

Vocabulary Box

5. Draw your crayon “sedimentary rock” and label it “sedimentary rock.”

6. How did you turn the shavings into a “sedimentary rock?”

7. How could sediments turn into a sedimentary rock in real life?

Reflection Questions 5-7

A metamorphic rock is a rock that has been changed with heat and pressure. How can we change this rock into a metamorphic rock?

PRESSURE!!!!

HEAT!!!!

Put the top sheet of waxed paper back over your “sedimentary rock.”

Politely ask your teacher to come apply pressure.

CAREFULLY remove the top sheet of waxed paper so that you don’t break your “rock.”

Metamorphic Rock

Rock changed by heat and pressure into a new type of rock.

Vocabulary Box

10.How did you turn the crayon “sedimentary rock” into a “metamorphic rock?”

11.How could a sedimentary rock turn into a metamorphic rock in real life?

Reflection Questions 10-11

6/1/12 Exit TicketMarco found a new rock. It looks like this. The rock looks like its made of layers of sand. What kind of rock did Marco find? How do you know?
