THE ROCK CYCLE UNIT: READING LESSONS, SCIENCE & FUN ACTIVITIES - 3RD/4TH GRADES

In the 3rd/4th grade unit on the rock cycle, students embark on an engaging journey through Earth's geological processes. Through interactive reading comprehension activities, they delve into the fascinating world of rocks, exploring how they are formed, transformed, and recycled over time. In science experiments, they become budding geologists, conducting hands-on investigations to observe the effects of heat and pressure on various types of rocks, simulating the forces that shape our planet's surface. Games add an element of fun while reinforcing key concepts, helping students solidify their understanding of the rock cycle in an enjoyable and memorable way. Through this multifaceted approach, students not only develop a deeper appreciation for Earth's dynamic processes but also hone their critical thinking and scientific inquiry skills.
