  1. Lesson 3: Rocks and Minerals 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.

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

  3. Rocks are combinations of minerals

  5. 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.

  7. Tectonic Plates

  8. Plate Movement

  9. Plate Boundaries 3 kinds of movement Transform Divergent Convergent What is geological event is experienced with each type? What landforms are created by each kind?
