GEOLOGIST S NOTEBOOK THREE ROCKS. Pre-Test/Anticipation Guide

Transcription

1 1 Name Pre-Test/Anticipation Guide Directions: Circle the best answer to the following questions before viewing the program. Don't worry; you may not know all of the answers. The answers will be reviewed following the program. 1. Rocks can be made from the inside of volcanoes. 2. Rocks can be as old a three billion years. 3. Igneous rocks are made from pressure. 4. There are some rocks that can float. 5. Sedimentary rocks are worn down by humans. 6. Mountains are carried away by erosion. 7. When plates in Earth's crust collide, volcanoes erupt. 8. There are metamorphic rocks. 9. Limestone can change into marble. 10.The rock cycle ends every 10 years.

2 2 Name Rock Observations Name of Rock Directions: Observe the rock carefully. What do you notice? Write down any quality of the rock you observe. (This is a great opportunity to use all of those adjectives you know!) For example, when I observe my dog, I would write that she is black, soft, medium-sized, and a little smelly. Now try describing this rock! Name Observations

3 3 (pre/post) Name Vocabulary Knowledge Chart Directions: Next to each word write the definition. If you don't know the meaning check the third box. After you have completed this knowledge chart, remember the words that you need to learn.

4 4 Name Video Quiz Directions: Now that you have learned so much from viewing Three Rocks, it is now time to test what you have learned. Answer each question by circling the correct response by circling either true or false. Do your best! 1) Igneous rock is still forming today in fiery places. 2) Weathering makes rocks harder. 3) Sediments harden into rock through lithification. 4) During metamorphosis, limestone might change to marble. 5) In the rock cycle, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rock can change into one another.

5 5 Name Discussion Questions Directions: Research and report back to the class. Creatively present the information you have learned. For example, you could create a game, do a dramatization, a news show, PowerPoint presentation with visuals, design a timeline, or write a story and read it to the class. 1. From where do rocks come? 2. Why would it be helpful to find a rock that is a million years old? 3. How is an igneous rock made? 4. What is in magma that makes up a rock? 5. How are sedimentary rocks made? 6. What happens in Earth that creates mountains? 7. How does the formation of mountains help more rocks to be made? 8. What does the word metamorphosis mean? 9. Can you think of examples of metamorphosis? 10. As what kind of rock does a metamorphic rock start? 11. Do rocks change over time? Explain. 12. Do you think rocks will be formed for many years to come? Explain. 13. What is an example of a rock cycle?

6 6 Name Graphic Organizer Directions: Fill in the Venn diagram below with all of the information you know about igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rock. Where circles overlap one another, write in qualities that both rocks share. Where circle are not overlapped, write in qualities of that rock only. igneous rock sedimentary rock metamorphic rock

7 7 Name Directions: Answer the following questions. Post-Test 1. How is an igneous rock created? 2. Original rock found on Earth's surface formed more than: A) three hundred years ago B) three thousand years ago C) three million years ago D) three billion years ago 3. All rocks are the same. A) True B) False 4. How is a sedimentary rock formed? 5. The difference between mechanical weathering and biological weathering is that biological weathering breaks the rock down by: A) Rain or water wearing the rock away. B) Plants growing inside of a rock and breaking it apart. C) Heat, cold, ice, and windblown sand breaking apart a rock. 6. Erosion is the process of. A) carrying away sediments B) building mountains C) a volcano erupting 7. Explain how plates moving in Earth's crust can create a new rock. 8. Metamorphic rock can start out as an igneous rock and change into a sedimentary rock. A) True B) False 9. The rock cycle is a slow process that does not stop. A) True B) False 10. Describe lithification.

8 8 Name Making Lava! Combine the following ingredients in a heavy saucepan under the supervision of an adult. 1 cup of sugar 1/2 cup of liquid glucose 1/2 cup of water 1 tablespoon of butter Keep to the side for later use, one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda. Heat gently until dissolved and then boil for about six minutes, until it all turns light golden brown. You can, either pour the mixture straight into a very cold oiled 9"x9" tin and watch it flow and set like lava, or you can make pumice by adding a teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda. This releases carbon dioxide into the mixture in lots of little bubbles - you will need to pour it in a tin quickly before it sets. Both types of lava can be broken with a hammer when set, forming the similar patterns of cracks you find in rocks after earthquakes. Any small fragments can be added to the recipe, for example, glitter, shredded paper, laundry lint, thread, or sand.
