We have been enjoying learning about rocks in anticipation of a field trip to Stone Mountain Park next week. The site I have found to be most helpful in our studies these past weeks is here.
Yesterday, we learned about the rock cycle using a fun website (that I think looks promising for other studies, too!) and then drew our own interpretations. Then, the girls were given an assignment when we went to the park later in the day. They had to plan and act out a rock cycle show for us. Here it is, for your viewing pleasure. :)
Notice that they even get weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction (into sedimentary rock), metamorphism, melting and crystallization (into granite) and extrusion (volcano)! I think they're ready for our file trip. :)
