  3. Georgia Performance Standards: • S3E1. Students will investigate the physical attributes of rocks and soils. • M3D1. Students will create and interpret simple tables and graphs. • ELA3R3 The student uses a variety of strategies to gain meaning from grade-level text.

  4. What do you know about rocks? • Where do rocks come from? • Where do you usually see rocks? • How do we use rocks?

  5. How rocks are formed For more information click on each rock name. • How do you think these rocks are different? • How might they be the same? • Do you think they all come from the same place?

  6. The Rock Cycle Magma Igneous Rocks Metamorphic Rocks Click here for an interactive rock cycle video. SedimentaryRocks Sediments

  7. Igneous Rocks • Igneous Rocks- • can be formed inside the earth from cooled magma or outside after a volcano eruption and lava cools. • Use the next slide to answer the following questions: • What happens to lava color as it gets hotter? • What temperature is orange lava? • What is the temperature difference in the hottest lava and coolest lava? Click to hear volcano. Click here to return to slide 5

  8. Lava Temperatures Click here to return to slide 7.

  9. Sedimentary Rocks • Sedimentary Rocks- • form after years of sediment collect in layers and over time become hardened rock. Shale Conglomerate Click here to return to slide 5.

  10. Metamorphic Rocks • Metamorphic Rocks- • rocks that are changed by heat and pressure. Press to see how metamorphic rocks are formed. Click here to return to slide 5.

  11. Rocks, Rocks, Rocks * Here are examples of each type of rock, please use your text book, the internet, and other books available in the room to complete this chart.

  12. The Coolest Rock • Get a partner and a copy of The Coolest Rock, by Sherilin Chanek. • Read the book silently to yourself. • After both your partner and you have finished, quiz each other on the rock cycle. (Look on the back cover for some great questions.)

  13. Virtual Experiment • Please watch the video and see if you can determine the rock being shown. • Pay close attention to how it feels, looks, and what it does. If video does not begin automatically, click image to begin, or to play again.

  14. Rock and Minerals Video • View the video link and you should be able to answer the following questions as you watch: • How do all rocks begin? • Do all minerals become gems? • Do all sedimentary rocks have to turn into metamorphic rocks? Click on Geology of the Gem State

  15. What’s your favorite rock?

  16. What are rocks made of? • Minerals • Can you name some minerals? • What makes minerals different? • Hardness, color, and shape. Click here to return to the beginning of the show.
