New Unit Alert- Rock Transformations!
What do the towering Rocky Mountains and the flat Great Plains have in common? In this unit, students explore a surprising mystery: rocks from both regions share similar mineral compositions. Acting as geologists, students investigate how rocks form and transform over time through processes like weathering, erosion, heat, and pressure. Using models, simulations, and data, they explore how energy from the Sun and Earth’s interior drives the cycling of rock material.
