by  SOITA Learning Technologies

Program image

In Kids Rock, A Closer Look at Rocks we learned about the the different types of rocks and how  they’re formed. In Kids Rock On, Chipping Away at  the Rock Cycle we will dive deeper into our investigation  of the rock cycle, discussion how rocks change over time, the role of weathering and erosion in the shaping of the earth’s surface, and how geologists play an important role in our communities.

Program Details

Format

Pre-activities will be emailed to teacher one week before program,

Observe different rock samples or pictures and describe their characteristics. Understand that rocks are identified by how they are formed and their unique characteristics. View Topographical maps and have students hypothesize how various land forms (mountains, canyons, deltas, etc.) may have formed.

Objectives

Discuss the role geologists play in our society and the various careers available in the field of geology.
- Review the three types of rocks, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic and how they are formed
- Explore the transformations of rocks in the rock cycle
- Identify the characteristics used to ID rocks and use those characteristics and techniques to help identify an example rock.
- Compare and contrast weathering and erosion and their impact on the earth’s surface and landscape.
- Observe an example how water erodes the earth and creates depositions of material.
