Rock Classification
This ExploreLearning Gizmo allows the user to classify virtual rock samples
based on their appearance according to the common characteristics of igneous,
sedimentary, and metamorphic rock. The rocks may also be classified by their
source in nature. Feedback is provided and data may be recorded via screen
captures. The resource also includes an exploration guide and assessment
questions.
Rock Cycle
This ExploreLearning Gizmo allows the user to explore how rock can transition
from one type to another through the rock cycle. The cycle components include
magma, sediments, soil, and intrusive igneous rock. Crystallization, exposure
and weathering, increased temperature and pressure, melting, consolidation, and
lithification and compaction are the geological processes featured in the
simulation. The user selects a starting location and follows many possible paths
through the cycle. The resource also includes an exploration guide and
assessment questions.
Interactive Rock Cycle Animation
