4.3.6 Recognize and describe that a rock is composed of different combinations of materials
4.3.10 Demonstrate that the mass of a whole object is always the same as the sum of the masses of its parts.
Rocks are classified as igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic. Igneous rocks form from volcanic activity as either extrusive or intrusive rocks. Sedimentary rocks form through erosion, deposition, compaction and cementation of sediments. Metamorphic rocks form from existing rocks that are changed by heat and pressure in the earth's crust. The rock cycle shows how rocks continuously change between these three classes through geological processes.
There are three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks form when magma cools and crystallizes, either underground or on the surface. Sedimentary rocks form through the compaction and cementation of sediments, usually deposited by water. Metamorphic rocks were originally igneous or sedimentary rocks, but were changed by extreme heat and pressure within the Earth's crust, altering their structure. Rocks can be transformed between these types through the rock cycle as they are weathered, eroded, deposited, buried deep within the Earth, and sometimes melted.
There are three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks form from cooled magma and are categorized as either extrusive or intrusive based on if they cool above or below ground. Sedimentary rocks form from the compaction and cementation of sediments and sometimes contain fossils. Metamorphic rocks form from changes to existing igneous or sedimentary rocks through heat and pressure, creating new rock types with interlocking crystals. The document provides examples and characteristics of each rock type.
Students will learn to identify rock types by their observable properties. Working in groups, students will observe samples of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks using magnifying glasses. They will draw the rocks' shapes, colors, and minerals. Then students will classify the rocks by type based on discussions of each type's characteristics. Finally, their understanding will be assessed by having students individually identify unlabeled rock samples.

Taiko is a Japanese performance art that involves drumming. It uses large drums called taiko played with drumsticks. Performers wear traditional clothing like happi coats, tabi shoes, and hachimaki headbands. There are four principles of taiko: attitude of personal responsibility and teamwork, kata involving body language and aesthetics, technique of stick skills and rhythm, and ki being in a state of unity between mind and body. Rhythms involve striking different parts of the drum and using syllables to communicate timing and beats between drummers.

Discussion and Review: The textbook definition of a mineral is “a homogeneous,
naturally occurring, solid substance with a definable chemical composition and an
internal structure characterized by an orderly arrangement of atoms in a crystalline
structure” (from Earth; Portrait of a Planet; Stephen Marshak (Norton, 2005).
A crystal grown in a lab is not a true mineral since it did not form by geologic processes.
However, crystals grown in a lab are virtually identical to true minerals in many other

aspects: they are solid, inorganic, homogeneous, and have a definite chemical
composition and an ordered structure.
By growing crystals in a laboratory setting you will be able to investigate the different
properties that define a mineral. In addition, growing synthetic minerals can offer insight
into the factors that affect the crystal growing process in a true geologic setting. By
“watching” your crystals grow, you’ll be able to better understand how crystal faces
develop in rocks and what influences them, plus you won’t ...
1. A 1600 Italian cobbler discovered a rock that glowed in the dark, leading to the discovery of fluorescent and phosphorescent substances that emit light when exposed to certain forms of energy.
2. In the 1850s, a scientist realized the fluorescent properties of substances could be used to create a new type of lighting, creating the first fluorescent light bulb by placing a fluorescent material inside a glass tube with an electric current.
3. Today, fluorescent light bulbs are widely used in places like offices, schools, and factories.

The activity aims to teach students that rocks are composed of combinations of minerals that make each rock unique.
Strata are horizontal layers of rock formed over long periods of time. Sedimentary rock is formed through the stratification of sediment particles deposited in layers. Strata reveal the geological history of the Earth through their arrangement, composition, and changes indicating forces that altered their positioning over millions of years. Different rock types record this history through their formation processes of igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic.

Geology 3: Notes on mineral composition, structure of crystals, and identifi...Robin Seamon
This document defines several key terms used in geology:
1) Organic materials contain carbon and are related to living organisms, while inorganic materials are related to non-living things. Minerals are naturally formed inorganic solids with a crystalline structure.
2) Elements are pure substances that cannot be broken down further, while compounds are substances made of two or more chemically bonded elements like NaCl or H2O. Crystals are solid forms of minerals produced through repeating atomic patterns.
3) The document provides examples of silicate and non-silicate minerals and discusses their composition. It also defines properties of minerals like color, luster, hardness, streak, cleavage, and fluorescence.
