This week we'll continue our investigation of rocks by finishing up the classification chart and trying to figure out what types of rocks you brought in from home, based on what we know about classification. Then we will take some time to figure out how the main types of rock - Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic - can change. As solid and still as rocks seem, they are always in transition - changing from one rock into another through different processes. You will discover how these processes happen in a lab investigation this week. Later in the week, we will check out how rock is broken down through a process called weathering. Weathering creates some incredible rock formations like the one seen here - The Wave at Paria Canyon in Utah. Last day for Plate Tectonics Test retakes are Monday after school. After school help is available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday this week. Stay curious and keep looking for answers! |
