Summary:
The three types of rock are sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous. Any of the three rocks can turn into each other. Sedimentary forms when rocks are broken down into sediments and then squeezed together. It takes a long time to get this process done. Metamorphic rocks form when rocks are squeezed by pressure and heat. Igneous rocks form when they are in magma and are cooled. The rocks are usually in volcanoes and when they erupt, the rock is exposed to air, and is cooled, thus turning into an igneous rock. In the rock cycle, heat, pressure, magma, air, wind and erosion help these rocks form into sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous.
SP8: Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information:
This week, I completed the Rock Cycle Cartoon. I gathered all my data by rolling die and going to the location it tells me to. For example, I started on the soil table, I rolled the die, it told me that pressure occurred and that I had to go to the Earth's interior table. Then, I wrote down each event and where I went to in order. I evaluated my data by reviewing the data I had just obtained. Then, I communicated my information by drawing it on a cartoon, which showed what event happened, and where I went to next.
