8 SCIENCE – Term 4 Unit 8: ROCKS AND MINERALS IN MY WORLD (6 WEEKS) 1 LEARNING GOALS: Students will investigate the following: The numerous different types of rocks found on Earth are made up of many different minerals and elements, yet they are all interrelated due to the dynamic nature of the rock cycle. The method of extraction and sustainability of these rocks, minerals, and elements are of economic and ecological significance both now and into the future. ………………………………………………………………………………………. S SUCCESS CRITERIA: THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO DO THE FOLLOWING: Use a variety of different rocks to show that they are made of a collection of minerals Simulate the formation of sedimentary and igneous rocks Use the rock cycle to develop an understanding of the timescales involved in the formation of igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks Distinguish between a rock, an ore and a mineral Recognise that some rocks and minerals, such as ores, provide valuable resources Investigate ways in which the environmental impact of mining can be minimised Use a flow diagram to show the steps in obtaining useful materials from mining ……………………………………………………………………………….
