The rock Cycle

We have been studying the rock cycle! Looks complicated doesn't it? Well, its really not! Over the next few days we will study each type of rock and how it is formed...this could get yummy!



We also learned a new song! We will ROCK you!
We will we will rock you!
we will we will rock you!

Volcanos erupt with lava so hot
it cools and hardens and its igneous rock cuz
rocks can change...all over this place...
they weather, and melt, and get rearranged!

We will we will rock you!
we will we will rock you!

Rock gets weathered into tiny tiny rocks
layers and layers get piled on top
it gets compacted, its elementary
this rock will become sedimentary

we will we will rock you
we will we will rock you!

Any type of rock under heat and pressure
becomes metamorphic and thats for sure
cuz rocks can change, all over this place..
they weather, and melt and get rearranged

we will we will rock you
we will we will rock you!
My job "rocks"!

  51. Hello! I stumbled upon this post, and was surprised to see the graphic designed by our Nature Center. I am the manager of the North Mountain Park Nature Center in Ashland Oregon, and we use that Rock Cycle diagram in our K-5 educational programs. Just FYI: You can find the image in a background booklet on our website: www.ashland.or.us/curriculum
    Glad you all like it so much!

  62. First year teaching grade 4. I was teaching 3 types of rocks today and found it boring as so did the kids. I think your template of the rock cycle would make it easier for the kids and give them a visual to learn from. I would love a copy of your template please. jmdl1272@gmail.com

  75. Love this! We used a YouTube video with a similar theme in our kids' science class for ages 3 - 7 when we were studying earth science / rocks. (Learn more about the class at www.InventorsOfTomorrow.com) We used it primarily as a rhythm activity - practicing the stomp stomp clap while they listened to the song. Next year, maybe we'll try singing your version!

  89. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
