metamorphism, heat, pressure, melting, cooling, solidification, sediment, sedimentary rock, metamorphic rock,
magma, and igneous rock.
 Give one example of each type of rock (sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous).
 Tell how each type of rock is formed.
 The project must be neat, colorful, creative, and show full knowledge of the rock cycle and the three types of
rocks.

Types of Projects Allowed:

 Poster board
 Tri-fold board
 3D model
 Shadowbox
 PowerPoint presentation
*Pictures and sources must be cited on the last slide using MLA format.
 If you have an idea not listed, please ask me. There are many other wonderful possibilities.

Creative Ideas:

 Instead of drawing everything, cut pictures out of magazines.


 Use pictures from the Internet.
 Bring in real rocks to use as examples of each type of rock.
 Make 3D models or have pieces on your board stick out.
 Glue real rocks on your board.
 Show the rock cycle in a way you haven’t seen it before.
 If doing a PowerPoint presentation, add in links to interesting websites or games about rocks.
