Do you collect rocks? Do you wonder how rocks are made, and whether they last forever? Model the process of how rocks get created and destroyed in this fun, interactive geology class for beginners.
Class experience
Have you ever wondered why rocks are all different? Why are some rocks smooth, while others are sharp and jagged? Where did the rocks in your collection come from? And will they last forever? In this class, we'll talk briefly about what a rock is and where rocks come from. Then we'll make an interactive model using playdoh or modeling clay. We'll learn about different ways that rocks can form and change, and find out that scientists have names for rocks at each stage of the process (igneous,...
Students will distinguish between rocks and other natural and artificial materials. Students will describe different processes, such as erosion, that change rocks over time. Students will simulate the stages of the rock cycle using playdoh or modeling clay. Students will match the names of each stage of the rock cycle to a diagram.
I teach this topic at the American Museum of Natural History. This hands on experience is a great way for students to get familiar with the rock cycle and other principles in geology.
1 file available upon enrollmentFor the rock cycle activity, you will need: -3 colors of playdoh, Model Magic, or modeling clay -a covered surface Please print out the supplied diagram prior to class beginning. We will be filling it out during the session.
