building for the future

1. There are three types of rock: sedimentary rocks, igneous rocks and metamorphic rocks. In small groups/pairs on a piece of A4 paper show how the three different types of rocks are linked. You need to show the processes that lead to the formation of each type and how one type can be converted into another. After 5 minutes go and have a look at the diagrams of other groups. Watch the video clip (Science in action 2 programme 6) and together with your book p 64 make additions/changes to your cycle. Now add time scales to the processes on your rock cycle. Go though "the rock cycle" on echalk.
