Metamorphic

Lesson Plan:

  • We will go over the difference of metamorphic rocks and what makes them appear different from any other type of rocks.

  • Then we will watch a youtube video once all the way through, then we will go back and watch it a second time and check for understanding throughout.

  • Then we will go over the instructions of the worksheet and students will work individually and we will go through the worksheet together at the end.

  • To get a clearer understanding but also do something fun, we will do a coloring worksheet that is just for fun and to give our brains a break.
