Help your students build real understanding of rock cycle to earth systems through ninety questions that move from basic recognition to genuine reasoning about how the Earth works.
Students will answer questions such as "How does the rock cycle connect with the water cycle?", "What role does the hydrosphere play in the rock cycle?", and "What is lithification in the context of the rock cycle?"
Because the three worksheets share the same content in three different formats, you can spread them across the week: one for diagnosis, one for practice, and one for assessment, without repeating a single question.
This set is part of a standards aligned earth science unit. The unit also covers Earth Materials as Finite, Evidence of Material, Rock Cycle as a System Model, Processes That Form Rock, Data to Support Rock Cycle, and Revising Rock Cycle Models, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.
Suitable for Grade 9-12 earth science classes, and for review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to Virginia SOL standard ES.5b.
