Jan 19-21: Rock Types & the Rock Cycle

Only 3 days, but lots of information this week!

Monday & Tuesday - NO SCHOOL!!!
Wednesday - Start rock type notes p3. How are igneous rocks formed? What are the 2 types of igneous rocks and how are they different from one another?
Thursday - Finish rock type notes p3. How are metamorphic rocks and sedimentary rocks formed?
Friday - Rock Cycle pg3 - How are rocks changed from one type to another?

Students will be looking at a lot of samples of rocks this week - please emphasize along with me the importance of being careful with the rocks that we'll be handling. If you have any cool rocks at home, it would be great to see some from "the field."
