1) Rocks are composed of substances called ____________________. These come
in different colors so rocks come in different colors.
(2:28)
2) Rocks are continuously being created and destroyed; only to be turned
into new rocks again. This is called the ____________ ____________. The three major types of
rocks are _______________ rocks, ____________________ rocks, and ____________________ rocks.
(2:52)
3) The word igneous comes from the Latin word “ignis” or _______________.
Igneous rock starts out as _______________ inside the Earth. When it comes into contact with
cooler surfaces it hardens into rock. ____________________ igneous rock is formed when magma
exits the Earth in volcanoes, explosions, and lava flows. ____________________ igneous rocks
form underground when magma cools and hardens slowly.

4) Sand, mud, pebbles, and shells are brought together by wind and rain and
over millions of years these sediments pile up on each other to make layers of
_________________________ rock. When rushing sediments move they settle at different rates
because of ____________________.
(12:20)
5) There are different types of sedimentary rock. ____________________ rocks are
rocks that are made of other rocks that are held together by a kind of natural cement.
____________________ rock is a sedimentary rock made up of things that were once living.
____________________ rocks form when large bodies of water evaporate and leave behind
minerals in solid crystal form.
(16:10)
6) Metamorphic sounds like the word metamorphosis, which means
“_______________”. Metamorphic rocks are those formed by changes in existing rocks over
time as a result of ____________________, _______________, and chemical reactions.
(18:05)
7) Sedimentary and igneous rock can become metamorphic rock. Over time
rain, wind, ice, and running water break down these rocks into smaller particles in the
process of ____________________ and ____________________. These particles can become
sedimentary rock again over millions of years. Metamorphic rock can become igneous rock
again when it is reheated. This changing of rock continues to happen which is why we call
it the rock cycle.
