Description
In this hands-on science lab experiment, students use Starburst candies to model how rocks can change between sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks in the rock cycle. Students will use scissors, hot water, and an iron to simulate weathering and erosion into sediment, melting and cooling, heat and pressure.
This resource includes:
- Teacher directions, discussion questions, and extension activities
- 5 pages of background information about the rock cycle
- 11 pages of directions that walk students through the activity step by step with photos of each step.
- A student record sheet
- Student response questions
- A scoring rubric
- A force copy link to a Google Slides digital version (including a digital, drag and drop version of the response page and response questions)
