Rock Cycle Model

Goal: Create a model that illustrates knowledge of the rock cycle and the three types of rocks.

Required Components of the model:

 Detailed illustration of the rock cycle including all the steps and rocks with labels.
 These words should be used in your project: weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, cementation,
metamorphism, heat, pressure, melting, cooling, solidification, sediment, sedimentary rock, metamorphic rock,
magma, and igneous rock.
 Give one example of each type of rock (sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous).
 Tell how each type of rock is formed.
 The project must be neat, colorful, creative, and show full knowledge of the rock cycle and the three types
of rocks.

Types of 3D models allowed:

 Poster board
 Tri-fold board
 If you have an idea not listed, please ask me. There are many other wonderful possibilities.

Creative Ideas:
 Use playdoh or clay to represent rocks onto a poster board.
 Glue real rocks of various types onto a poster board (strong adhesive needed i.e. gorilla glue)
 Show the rock cycle in a way you haven’t seen it before.
