At the end of this unit you will have to make a poster
with different types of real rocks to explain the rock cycle.
1. Let’s start
1) Look and discuss
Look at all these rocks (pieces of real rocks), and organize them into different
groups, it’s up to you to decide how to organize them. You can make as many
groups; as you want. Then, you have to explain to the rest of your classmates
why you grouped the rocks this way:
- I put all these rocks together because they are the same color, the same
size, etc…
- I put these rocks in this group because they have similar weights, similar
textures, etc…
2) Let’s watch a video about the rock cycle. After watching the
video try to answer this question:
Where do rocks come from?

If you don’t know guess.

1) Let’s listen to the recording and then read the text aloud:
ROCKS
A rock is a hard, solid material made up of minerals. Rocks form and are broken down
in a continuous cycle. There are three main types of rock. These are metamorphic
rock, sedimentary rock and igneous rock.
Igneous rock is magma or lava that has been cooled. The word “igneous” comes
from the Greek word for fire. All igneous rocks do not cool the same way. That
is why they do not all look the same. Some of them cool slowly inside the Earth
(Granite is an example of a rock that cools slowly and has large crystals) and others
cool quickly outside on the crust when a volcano erupts (Basalt is an example of this
type of rock).
Sedimentary rock:
The Earth’s surface is constantly being eroded. This means that rocks are broken
down into smaller pieces by weathering agents such as wind, water, and ice. These
small pieces of rock turn into pebbles, gravel, sand and clay. Over a long period of
time, the pieces become pressed together and form solid rock called sedimentary
rock.
Metamorphic rock:
Heat and pressure can change many things. They can even change rocks. The name
for rocks that have been changed is metamorphic rocks.. Metamorphic comes from
a two Greek words meaning “change” and “form”. Metamorphic rocks form deep in
the Earth where high temperature, great pressure, and chemical reactions cause
one type of rock to change into another type of rock.
Material AICLE: 6º de Primaria: Rocks

2) Let’s explore our second text
Rocks on the Earth are constantly changing through the rock cycle. Rocks are
continually formed, weathered and changed; the rock cycle is a process in which
rocks and minerals are heated, melted, cooled and broken down, and it takes years
to be completed; this cycle is extremely slow and can last thousands of years.
Each type of rock can change itself into a different one due to various processes;
Compaction
cooling
cementation
heat
melting

2. Now, let’s see another interactive video about rocks:

3) Working in pairs ask your partner about what you read in the texts.
Make questions like the ones in the example:
What is a rock?
How many types of rocks are there?
What is magma?
Etc.

10) Work in pairs; ask your partner these questions.
Help him/her if he/she doesn’t know the answer:
a) When Igneous Rock melts, what type of rock does it become?
It becomes_______________________
b) When heat and pressure are put on Sedimentary Rock, what type of rock
does it become?
It becomes_________________________
c) What process changes Metamorphic Rock into magma?
The process that changes Metamorphic Rock into magma is called________
d) What process turns Sedimentary Rock, Igneous Rock and Metamorphic
Rock into sediment?
The process that turns any rock into sediment is called__________
e) What does magma become after it cools?
After cooling magma becomes___________________
11) True or false?
- A rock is a soft, solid material made up of minerals.
- There are four types of rocks.
- Igneous rock is magma that has been cooled.
- Metamorphic rocks are formed due to high
temperature and great pressure inside the Earth.
- The rock cycle is a very fast process.
- The rock cycle can last thousands of years.

13) Listen and read the text
Marble
Marble is made when heat and pressure change limestone. It is a metamorphic rock.
Its surface has a high polish and smooth finish.
Marble can be carved, so it has been used for statues and buildings throughout
history, including the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Parthenon in Athens. However,
it is too expensive for a normal building.

4. Granite
14) Listen and read
The word “granite” comes from Latin “granu” meaning grain.
Rather a spotty rock! Granite is made up of several different minerals and you can
see the individual grains of these minerals. They come in three different colours:
black, grey and white. Granite is an igneous rock cooled inside the Earth. It’s a very
hard stone. It is often used as a building material.
This link is to know more about granite.
building stones and other rocks.

15) Find out:
- The name of the most famous marble in the world coming from Italy.
- The name of the most well-known marble in Spain coming from Almeria province.
- What country the Venus de Milo comes from.
- When it was carved.
- What museum you can see this sculpture at.
16) Now search for the same information about
David by Michelangelo.
17) Find the names of some famous buildings
made of granite. Look for pictures too!

18) Complete the following text. It will help you with your final project,
where you will have to explain to the rest of the class how the rock cycle works.
The rock cycle is the _______ in which rocks are constantly _______ into other
rocks.
This process is very slow and it can _______ thousands of years. There are three
different types of rocks: _______ Rock, _______ Rock and _______ Rock.
Igneous rocks are formed when magma, also called lava, _______ when a volcano
_______ or even inside, under the crust. This rock can be _______ due to weathering
and erosion and become sediments which are little pieces of materials. These sediments,
due to the processes of _______ and _______ become a different type of rock called
sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rock, thanks to high _______ and _______ turns into
metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rock deep inside the Earth can melt and turns into
magma so, the rock cycle _______ again.
Any type of rock due to erosion transforms into _______ and eventually becomes a
_______ rock.
5. Your final task:
Now it’s your turn:
Work in groups and make a poster about the rock cycle using real rocks to explain to
the rest of the class this natural process. As you cannot use magma, you can use any
other material to represent it.
