Rock Cycle: Modeling the Rock Cycle with StarburstsThis activity is a perfect follow up for a class who has just been introduced to the rock cycle. You will need starbursts (or other fruit chews of multiple colors) and plastic sandwich bags. Students begin with 'sediments' which they turn into a sedimentary rock, apply heat and pressure to turn it into a metamorphic rock, and then you (the teacher) will need to take them home to turn them into igneous rocks.

Rock Cycle Color by Number - Science Review Worksheet
This activity requires students to answer 12 questions related to the rock cycle. Once finished, students will use the answers to color the corresponding parts of a fun dream catcher coloring page. I have made sure to include questions that address misconceptions regarding the rock cycle. For example, many students believe that layered rocks are always sedimentary. Or, they believe that there is an end to the rock cycle. This question sheet will help clarify these misconceptions.Included:➤ Stude
