Rock Cycle Cartoon
Storyboard Text
- Timmy and Billy just arrived to school and are talking about their first class today, science. Billy expresses his excitement to learn about rocks
- Hey Timmy, are you excited to learn about the rock cycle today?
- Yea Billy, I am! I know the three different types of rocks, but I don't know how they are created...
- Mr. Simon begins class by asking the students a question, what are the three types of rocks. Billy attempts to answer the question, however, he getsone wrong, which Susie corrects.
- Hello class! Picking up from yesterday, who can tell me what the three kinds of rocks are?
- I can! They are igneous rocks, metamorphic rocks, and sedentary rocks...
- It's actually sedimentary rocks
- Mr. Simon reminds them about the rock cycle, and how it's where sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks change forms. He then asks the kids what kind of rock formation they would like to learn about first. Timmy says igneous rocks. Mr. Simon talks about how igneous rocks are found by volcanoes and have to do with magma cooling. This information intrigues to kids.
- Now if you remember, the rock cycle is where one rock change changes to another. For example, igneous rocks turn into sedimentary rocks. Today we will learn about how each rock forms. What rock type would you like to learn about first?
- Of course! As we learned earlier, igneous rocks are found in regions that have volcanoes, where you find magma and lava. They are formed by metamorphic rocks. When sedimentary rocks heat up and melt it turns into magma. When this magma cools, it turns into an igneous rock. During this time the minerals in the rock crystalize
- Can we learn about how igneous rocks form?
- After learning about igneous rocks, Susie is very interested in hearing what Mr. Simon has to say about sedimentary rocks. Mr. Simon talk about how sediment is created and how that sediment leads to the creating of sedimentary rocks.
- I'm glad you asked Susie! sedimentary rocks can be found in deserts and caves and can be made from igneous or metamorphic rocks., They are created from sediment, which is made through rocks breaking into pieces and being carried from one place to another. Those processes are called weathering and erosion. Before they become sedimentary rocks, the sediments created are added to the land, which is a process called deposition, and they then compact and cement together.
- What about sedimentary rocks Mr. Simon? How are those made?
- Billy questions what Mr. Simon just said about sedimentary Rocks; however, Mr. Simon explains how he is confusing it for Metamorphic Rocks. He goes on to explain the process by which metamorphic rocks are made, talking mainly about heat and pressure and the fact that metamorphic rocks change from one form to another.
- That's close Billy, but heat and pressure are actually key to the rocks found at the earth's crust, metamorphic Rocks! Metamorphic rocks are made through rocks changing from one form to another. This happens through this process of heat and pressure.
- But wait Mr. Simon! I thought sedimentary rocks had to do with heat and pressure!
- Man, I learned a lot today about rocks!
- The bell just rang to dismiss the class. Billy internally expresses how much he learned today about rocks. As the kids are getting up out of their seats, Mr. Simon dismisses them and gets in one little rock joke. However, I don't think it gets the reaction he thought it would.
- Well, there's the bell! If you have no more question you can head to your next class. Remember though, you guys' ROCK!
- Oh Mr. Simon!
- That was a terrible joke Mr. Simon!
