II.4. Rocks cycle
II.4.1. Igneous Sedimentary and Metamorphic
Activity 1: modeling the formation of the three main types of rocks - the crayon's demise! http://www.science-class.net/Geology/rocks_minerals.htm
Activity 2: comparing slides of Igneous rocks, discussing similqrities and differences, finding clues to explain their formation.
