Learn about the formation of igneous rocks, how the cooling rate affects their texture, and the difference between rocks formed within the Earth's crust and at the surface.
E N D
Bell Ringer: Please copy in your IAN!Ch.4.2 Igneous Rocks Objectives: Describe three ways that igneous rock forms. 2. Explain how the cooling rate of magma affects the texture of igneous rock. 3. Distinguish between igneous rock that cools within Earth’s crust and igneous rock that cools at Earth’s surface.
A) Igneous rock begins as magma. there are three ways magma can form: 1) when rock is heated, 2) when pressure is released, 3) or when rock changes composition.
Investigation • Today we will begin our investigation of igneous rocks by creating a visual image that relates to each of the 3 processes. • This investigation will take place in the form of a lab called, Fudgeous Rock. Lets take a look at our problem to solve, the background research, and our variables that we will be manipulating today!
Problem: What happens to substances during igneous rock (fudge) formation? Research: Refer to Chapter 4, Section 2 (pgs 98-101) in your text to review information about igneous rocks. A continued rise in temperature can eventually melt any rock until it is molten (called magma). A release of pressure speeds this up. When the molten rock cools it changes composition and forms an igneous rock. All three main types of rock (igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic) can be melted to form magma. Independent Variable: (I control…usually in procedure) 5 4 3 2 1 0 _______________________________________________________________________________ Dependent Variable: (what I observe…answers the lab problem) 5 4 3 2 1 _______________________________________________________________________________ Hypothesis: (If + IV + then + DV) 20 15 10 5 0 ________________________________________________________
B) Liquid magma is a complex mixture containing many melted minerals. Because these minerals have different melting points, some minerals in the magma will freeze or become solid before other minerals do. So let’s take a closer look at our minerals/ingredients that we will turn into magma and igneous rocks…

Bell Ringer! • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxbmvG5gpAs • 1) Take out your fudgeous rock lab and open your IAN to 4.2 Notes from yesterday. • 2) Glue in your 2 half sheets from the blue tubs. • 3) Today we will work on Ch.4.2 notes, lab data analysis, and the class conclusion.
How do Igneous Rocks form? • When hot, liquid rock Cools and Solidifies. • If it cools quickly, it is _____________. • If it cools slowly, it is ______________. • It takes our fudgeous rock 2 hours to cool and harden. Is that fast or slow? How would we know?
Origins of Igneous Rock • 3 ways magma can form: • ____________________________ • ____________________________ • Changes composition • It solidifies through freezing. 0 degrees Celsius vs. 1,000 degrees Celsius • Some minerals freeze faster than others. This can give igneous rocks unique textures
Composition and Texture Fine/ Above Not all igneous rocks look alike. B/C of cooling rate and mineral composition Light color = ________ __________ (felsic) Dark color= ________ (mafic rocks) The longer it takes magma to cool, the larger the crystals (demo) Coarse/ Below
Igneous Rock Classifications 2Ways Igneous Rock Forms: __________________Surface of Earth__________________ Extrusive Intrusive
Formation: • Weird Science Fact • Some igneous rocks form from cooling on the surface, but some form ___________________. • Intrusive rock –igneous rock that formed when magma hardened beneath Earth’s surface. • –Larger Crystals! • –The most abundant intrusive rock that makes up the continents is granite. • Graniteforms the core of many mountain ranges!!!
Origin–where Extrusive are formed • –Extrusive rock–igneous rock formed from lava that erupted onto Earth’s surface. • –Smaller Crystals! • –The most common extrusive rock is basalt. Look at the rock in the tray. • Basalt forms much of the crust, including the crust beneath the ocean floor. What about obsidian?
Comparing and Contrasting • •Materials -granite and basalt • •Which parts of the Earth’s crust are composed mostly of one or the other of these igneous rocks? • •Basalt -ocean floor • •Granite -continents
Uses of Igneous Rocks Basalt/Gravel • •Hard, dense, and durable • •Through history -tools and building materials • •Can you think of some uses? Pumice/ Exfoliation Obsidian/Tools Granite/ Egyptian Statues
LAB Connections: • 1) Let’s apply our learning to our FudgeousRock Lab. • 2) Please share your QUALITATIVE observations from yesterday’s lab with your elbow partner. • 3) Today we will work on data analysis. Please complete the 4 conclusion questions under your data table!
LAB Summary • Now, let’s complete our lab data analysis and our conclusion. Let’s compare our knowledge to what we saw yesterday!
Fudge Lab Conclusion! • Conclusion: (AC: Complete the following sentence starters in your OWN 5-7 sentence paragraph) • The data states… 10 • My data ________________ (supports/does not support) my hypothesis and WHY!!! 10 • My conclusion is… 10 (How did this lab reflect what happens to substances during igneous rock formation)? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxbmvG5gpAs
