Students Will understand how igneous rocks are created
Students will be able to identify what an igneous rock looks like
Students will learn how to refer to the rock cycle.
Let's quickly refresh the rock cycle to get a better idea how the processes works. That way, we can identify where each rock comes from.
Let's create our own volcanoes so we can see the process in which igneous rocks are created.
