    The document guides the reader through an interactive rock cycle webquest. It involves identifying types of rocks, classifying rocks, exploring how rocks change through heat and pressure and melting and cooling. It also covers weathering, erosion, compaction and cementation. The reader plays games to transform rocks and complete the rock cycle. They are tested on their skills and knowledge of the rock cycle. Key aspects covered are the three main types of rocks (igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic), how igneous rocks form from magma or lava, and the processes that change rocks into different types as they cycle through the Earth.

    2. Click on “Begin with Types of Rocks”. Read over the description of Igneous, Metamorphic and
    Sedimentary rocks. Then scroll to the bottom and examine the “What to look for” chart!

    3. Write down the six clues below:

    a) b) c) d) e) f)

    4. Then click “Next: Start your collection”. Click Begin. Click on each of the six rocks to identify them and
    read a brief description.

    Igneous, Metamorphic
    or Sedimentary?

    6. Now click on the next chapter, titled “How Rocks Change”. Read the section on how heat and pressure
    changes rocks and watch the animation by clicking Start.

    a) Heat and pressure causes rock to turn into rock.

    7. Click “Next”. Read the section on Heating and Cooling. Click on the animation for Melting.

    a) Melting causes rock to turn into .

    8. Click on the animation for Cooling. You may need to replay the animation more than once to answer
    the following questions.

    a) How does extrusive igneous rock form?


    .
    b) How does intrusive igneous rock form?
    .
    c) Which cools faster?
    d) Which has crystals?
    9. Click “Next”. Read the section on Weathering and Erosion and Compacting and Cementing. Watch both
    animations.
    10. Click on “Transform the Rock”. Read the directions for how to play and press “Begin”. IMPORTANT: Fill
    out the table below before submitting each answer! The words disappear very quickly!

    2) What do you need in order for an igneous rock to form?

    3) What do granite and basalt have in common?

    4) What’s the difference between magma and lava?

    5) What can you infer about metamorphic rocks from their name?

    6) Where might you find mountains of metamorphic rock?

    7) What has to happen to sediment in order for it to form sedimentary rock?

    8) When does a sedimentary rock become a metamorphic rock?
