atamount Kids is pleased to once again have Stuart Strife guest teach in our program this spring. Stuart will be presenting a lesson titled “The Rock Cycle.”
The Rock Cycle
Ever wonder what makes one rock different from another? In our Rock Cycle lesson, we will gain an understanding of minerals, the building blocks of rocks, and how they make up the rock cycle.
We’ll examine the physical properties of minerals, construct a table of characteristics, and use a decision tree to identify various types of minerals.
This new knowledge of minerals will help us identify different rocks from Vermont and understand how the landscape of our state was created.
