This lesson covers: describing the rock cycle. You will explain that there are sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks, each with distinct properties, and that rocks are made of one or more minerals. You will also identify minerals by their properties.

Characteristic Properties of
Minerals
• A mineral is the same all the way through.– Color– Shiny-ness– Fracture pattern– Harness– Transparency– Many others
Rocks are combinations of minerals

Lessons 6-7: Plate Tectonics and Landforms
These lessons cover: understanding the interior structure of the Earth and plate tectonics, and explaining geological events and cycles that occur due to plate motion. Describing how landforms and rock layers are created, and understanding how the three types of plate boundaries cause different landforms.
