Geology: Rocks & Minerals

Unit Plan:

This unit rocks! Literally. Rocks and minerals. All minerals are rocks, but not all rocks are minerals. This unit will examine the definition, characteristics, identification and uses of minerals. It will then examine the three major types of rocks and how they are transformed by natural processes in a system we call the rock cycle. Students can expect to look at lots of rocks and minerals!
