Curriculum AreaEarth Science

Time Frame 5 weeks

Identify Desired Results (Stage 1)Content Standards

S8E5. Students will investigate the scientific view of how the Earth’s surface is formed.a. Investigate the contribution of minerals to rock composition.b. Classify rocks by their process of formation.

Understandings Essential Questions

Overarching Understanding Overarching TopicalStudents will understand that…

Many materials used by people come from rocks and minerals.

To be a mineral it has to be naturally occurring, inorganic solid that has a crystal structure and a definite chemical composition.

Each mineral has its own specific properties that can be used to identify it.

Minerals can form in two ways: through crystallization of melted materials and through crystallization of materials dissolved in water.

Minerals are the source of metals, gemstones, and other materials used to make many products.

Rocks are classified based on how they formed and their mineral composition.

Igneous rocks are classified according to their origin, texture, and mineral composition.

Sedimentary rocks are formed by the ongoing deposition of rocks and other sediments that are cemented together.

Metamorphic rocks are identified by the arrangement of the grains that make up the rocks.

Rocks at the Earth’s surface weather, forming sediments that are buried, then compacted, heated, and often recrystallized into new rock.

What are the properties of minerals and explain how minerals are identified?

Can minerals be used in everyday life? If so, how?

Is it possible for rocks to change from one type to another?

Is the rock cycle really a cycle?

How do natural objects compare to manufactured objects?

Can rocks be used in everyday life? If so, how?

What is a mineral? What are the five characteristics of a mineral? What are the processes by which minerals form? What are the characteristics used to identify rocks? What are the three major groups of rocks? How do igneous rocks form? How do sedimentary rocks form? How do metamorphic rocks form? How are rocks classified?

Related Misconceptions

Misconceptions: All rocks are the same. Rocks and minerals are the same. Rocks and minerals are not important in my

life. Rocks and minerals can be man-made.

Page 2: Technology infusion

KnowledgeStudents will know…

SkillsStudents will be able to…

Minerals can be identified by their physical properties.

Rocks are composed of minerals. Minerals are the building blocks of rocks.

Magma cools and crystallizes to form igneous rock.

Igneous rock undergoes weathering to form sediment. The sediment is transported and deposited somewhere (such as at the beach or in a delta, or in the deep sea.

The Rock Cycle explains how on rock type can be transformed into another.

Science mineral vocabulary-Mineral, inorganic, crystal structure, element, compound, Moh’s hardness scale, streak, luster, density, cleavage, fracture, magma, and lava.

Science rock vocabulary- Sedimentary, igneous, metamorphic, rock composition, mineral formation, pressure, and rock cycle.

Explain the properties of minerals. Identify the processes of how minerals form. Explain and give examples of how minerals and rocks are used in their everyday life. Explain how rocks change from one type to another. Analyze the rock cycle and explain how the different types of rocks form. Classify igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.
