Rocking Through the Rock Cycle part of K-8 Geo Teacher Preparation:Workshop 2016:Activities
The students will participate as matter traveling through the rock cycle while drawing cards from 4 rock matter stations (magma, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic). Afterwards, the student will demonstrate their path using a laser pointer in a projected large the rock cycle diagram.

The Rock Cycle: building descriptive skills part of Teach the Earth:Teaching Activities
The goal of this activity is to have students become comfortable and adept at making observations about differences in rocks, describing those differences in a useful and meaningful way, and making connections with ...

Learning Assessment #2 - The Rock Cycle part of Introductory Courses:Activities
An in-class activity that tests students' understanding of the rock cycle.

Rock cycle in chocolate lab part of Introductory Courses:Activities
This lab activity simulates the rock cycle with a piece of chocolate instead of actual rock. Students melt, crystallize, erode, lithify and metamorphose a single small block of chocolate. Along the way students ...

Rock Cycle Skit part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This activity is a skit, commercial or song/rap about the rock cycle

Unit 5: Linking Processes Driven By Internal and External Energy Sources part of Interactions between Water, Earth’s Surface, and Human Activity
Students use what they have learned in the previous units to link the above-ground part of the rock cycle (driven by the hydrologic cycle, energy from the Sun, and gravity) to the below-ground part of the rock ...

The Rock Cycle: A hands on Simulation part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This activity is a hands-on simulation of the rock cycle.

Unit 2: Fluvial Processes that Shape the Natural Landscape part of Interactions between Water, Earth’s Surface, and Human Activity
In this unit, students examine the interaction between the hydrologic cycle and rock cycle through exploring the processes of weathering, erosion, transport and deposition of sediments both in real stream systems ...
