The Rock Cycle

Science · Matter & Materials · conceptual

Explain the rock cycle: how igneous rocks form from magma, sedimentary rocks from compressed sediment, and metamorphic rocks from heat and pressure, and how all rock types can transform into one another over geological time

What mastery looks like

  • Describes how each rock type (igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic) is formed
  • Gives an example of each rock type and its formation (e.g. granite, limestone, marble)
  • Traces a rock sample through possible transitions in the rock cycle
  • Explains what geological time means and why rock cycle changes are slow

Check your understanding

If The Rock Cycle picked up a piece of marble on a school trip, could they explain how it was originally limestone, what changed it into marble, and how long that process took?
