The Rock Cycle

Students analyze and compare six rock-forming processes, use various tools to examine and classify 12 types of rocks, evaluate a sample rock cycle diagram, and draft their improved model.

Energy in Earth’s Systems

Students observe the effects of heat on the density of a liquid and describe how the flow of energy might cause changes in matter within Earth’s systems.

Earth’s Rotation and Revolution

Students create a classroom planetarium, in which they model Earth’s rotation, the movement of constellations, and how Earth’s axis points toward Polaris.
