  1. ROCKS: The Original Recyclers!

  2. Rocks HaveOptions...

  3. Rockin’ Terms: • Weathering: The wearing away or breaking down of rocks by… 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

  4. Rockin’ Terms: • Erosion: The movement of sediments produced after weathering, usually by... 1. 2. 3.

  5. Rockin’ Terms: • Deposition: When sediments are dropped off in a new location after erosion.

  6. Let’s Recycle Some “ROCKS”! Step 1: Use the tools available at your station (pencil sharpener, cheese grater, penny) to shred your crayon-rock into a pile of shavings. *Think back to the rock cycle terms...What process of the rock cycle are we doing? • Erosion • Weathering • Depositing

  7. Step 2: One at a time, each person should bring their shavings to the bigger piece of tinfoil. *Think back to the rock cycle terms...What process of the rock cycle are we doing? • Erosion • Weathering • Depositing

  8. Step 3: Take turns laying your shavings down, one color one top of the other. *Think back to the rock cycle terms...What process of the rock cycle are we doing? • Erosion • Weathering • Depositing

  9. Under Pressure... Step 4: Carefully fold the piece of tinfoil in a square so the layers you created are all covered. Step 5: Take turns applying pressure. You can put the tinfoil between blocks and stand on them if you want. Try not to jump. That could rip the foil.

  10. We have created a new kind of Rock! Step 6: Carefully unfold the tinfoil and observe the new rock. Work as a team to identify the newrock. Step 7: Write in the name of the new rock on your rock cycle sheet.

  11. Let’s Add a Little Heat and More Pressure... Step 8: Work as a team to predict what will happen when your rock is heated and more pressure is applied. Step 9: Refold your tinfoil packet and bring it to a heating station. Heat for 30-60 seconds. NEXT apply more pressure by putting it under the block and standing on it. • Step 10: Carefully unwrap your rock and identify thenew rock. Write in the name of the new rock on your rock cycle sheet

  12. Melting it and Cooling it... Step 11: Get a “magma chamber” from the front. Place your rock in the chamber and bring it to a heating station. Once the rock is completely melted, carefullypour the magma into the water container. • Step 12: Write in the name of the new rock on your rock cycle sheet.
