Ride The Rock Cycle Ride the rock cycle is another extra credit lab which you can do at home, but of course you will need to be supervised by an adult or a parent. Below is the information needed to do the rock cycle lab...

// Take your students on a journey through the rock cycle with this fun lesson. After my students have been introduced to the rock cycle, I challenge them to create a story about Roger, a metamorphic rock. Students must describe at least three transitions that occurred during Roger's life, such as changing from metamorphic to igneous, igneous to sedimentary, and sedimentary to igneous. Students have the option of writing a diary, creating a cartoon, or making a children's book. My students have a great time using their creativity and I enjoy a little of their humorous insights into Roger's life. Also available .... **Ride the Rock Cycle activity** (created by Stacy Baker, Pleasant Hill School, Peoria, IL)

For this activity students roll a die and travel through different stations to learn about the rock cycle. After their journey, they use the information from the "trip" to create a comic strip. //
