Instructions
Play through this interactive game to learn about The Rock Cycle. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.
Main Concepts
The combination of minerals and the way in which they combine determine the properties of a rock.
Rocks are made of minerals.
Regional metamorphism of rock is a very slow geologic process.
Folding, faulting, and breaking are geologic processes due to tectonic plate movement that cause physical changes in rocks.
Geologic processes, such as the rock and water cycles, involve the cycling of energy and matter from one form to another.
Igneous rocks form from cooled magma or lava.
Metamorphic rocks form from other rocks that have been changed by heat or pressure.
Sedimentary rocks form when sediments, such as sand, gravel, clay, or silt, are compressed and cemented together.
The processes of the rock cycle involve uplift, weathering, erosion, deposition, melting, crystallization, and metamorphism.
The rock cycle is dependent upon the flow of energy from Earth's interior.
Discussion Questions
Before the Game
What is a cycle in nature? What do you think rocks are made of? How do you think a rock is formed? What do we call the science that studies the formation of rocks?
After the Game
What are the characteristics of igneous rocks? What are the characteristics of sedimentary rocks? What are the characteristics of metamorphic rocks?
