Students have been learning about the rock cycle and the three different types of rocks that are formed during the cycle. Currently students have been working on a project that would allow them to use their creativity and knowledge of the rock cycle to create a song, poem or cheer that explains the 3 types of rocks and how they are formed within the rock cycle. Students have done a wonderful job with this assignment!!!!! We also modeled the rock cycle in class with crayons, hot plates, books and foil. It provides a wonderful visual of the rock cycle for the students.

Students melted their "sediments" to form "magma" and as it solidified created an igneous rock.
