L.O. To use the rock cycle to explain how the material in rocks is recycled. Perfect for key stage 3. The slides include theory and interactive exercises for the students.

Comprehension and additional task exercises pages 104 and 105 from Next Page Science KS3 Complete. Accompanying PowerPoint and word searches available for** free** from the website. This exercise covers: • A pictorial description of the rock cycle: weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction and uplift • The three types of rock: sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous with examples • Intrusive and extrusive rocks and the large and small crystal structures • A detailed description of the rock cycle and each rock formation • A labelling exercise consolidating the rock cycle • An exercise on uplift • Amazing WHAT? facts

Perfect lesson resource for KS3 Chemistry! A fully differentiated and resourced lesson that assists students in learning about how how the rock cycle links the formation of sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks. Students will describe the processes that interconvert the three types of rocks, construct a labelled diagram to illustrate the processes of rock formation, and use the rock cycle to explain how the material in rocks is recycled. The resource includes a detailed and engaging lesson PowerPoint with differentiated activities, worksheets and quizzes for students to complete. This resource is part of The Earth topic and has been created for the delivery of the Activate KS3 Science course. Also great for KS2 Science. 24 slides in total for the lesson PPT

Revision mat for KS3 science topics "rock cycle". Includes revision the rock cycle, different forms of weathering, acid rain and the structure of the Earth. Includes completed revision mat.

5th lesson in the year 8 science module, The Earth - written alongside the 'Activate' textbooks and assessments. This resource contains a powerpoint and scheme of work. The powerpoint covers the theory along with student tasks. ** Also available in a bundle.

We are always looking for ways of making our lessons more exciting and accessible to the pupils, doing something different in a different way to make a difference. Enterprising teaching and learning by any other name. Here I offer a lesson that I have taught to a low ability year 7. The topic was ‘The Rock Cycle’ and I wanted to show how through the application of heat and pressure you could change the structure of the rocks (i.e. how metamorphic rock is formed). This is a difficult concept for some pupils to grasp. So what better way to demonstrate this concept than by making CHEESE TOASTIES. Please have a go at teaching the lesson and make a difference through doing something different in a different way.

Pictures from story board need reordering or blank storyboard framework could be used for any storyboard/drawing own pictures Feedback would be much appreciated

Sequence of lessons on the rock cycle - worksheets referenced are exploring science 7 and 8 H.

KS3 Chemistry Lesson on The Rock Cycle Slides are fully animated, with constant AfL, differentiation, scaffolding of learning and review of objectives. LO1: State what is meant by the rock cycle (Level 3) LO2: Describe using a diagram the rock cycle and the processes that are involved (Level 4) LO3: Explain what is meant by uplift and why it is so important (Level 5) (All resources including worksheets included) Slides also include keywords on each slide and Stretch & Challenge for each activity. Interleaving Questions included at the start of each lesson.

Differentiated for lower/middle/high.

During 7.1.4 The rock cycle Year 7 students work through a variety of activities to develop their understanding of the processes involved in the rock cycle. Based on the 4th lesson from the AQA KS3 Activate 1 (OUP) 7a: Earth- 7.1 Earth structure chapter. Also available as a digital worksheet, which is ideal for distance learning, independent study or catch-up of missed work through absence. Aimed at a mixed ability Year 7 class. Presentation contains (22 slides)- Bell work activity Lesson objective and success criteria Information slides Challenge activities (group work) Practical activity (where appropriate) Demonstrate understanding tasks (with answers) Lesson resources (additional to scheme) Please note: Activate (Kerboodle) worksheets from scheme are not included due to license.

This task is all about the topic of the rock cycle. It could be set as a homework task for revision or a class task to assess understanding. The sheet tells students what they need to do to achieve different mastery ranges (emerging, developing, secure, mastered & exceptional). This task can be teacher, self or peer assessed. I have tried to add some context to the task to help students create a deeper understanding of the topic. If you look at my other resources, you will see similar sheets for many KS3 topics. I am working on this style of sheet for GCSE and A-Level physics at the minute. If you would like me to make a similar sheet for a different topic – please let me know & I will do my best!

Slides detailing the rock cycle with several accompanying activities To keep kids busy and consolidate learning - rocks don’t have to be boring!

Key stage 3 ~ year 8 ~ complete lesson on the Rock Cycle. In this lesson pupils will review sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks and describe how rocks change from one type to another. Extension questions are included on the slides and there is a pick and mix of different tasks to select from for your students. Follows the Activate 2 KS3 course. This lesson includes: -Title slide with learning objectives -A starter activity -Group reading (literacy) -Keyword task (vocabulary: rock cycle, uplift, freeze-thaw, recycle and tectonic plates) -Handout sheets -Task boxes -Discussion exercise -Order the Steps -Answer slides included for self-assessment -Next lesson the Carbon Cycle https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12795885 www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/Dr_Troilo

KS3 lesson for: The rock cycle

a power point featuring a lesson based on The Rock Cycle

Lesson explaining the rock cycle.

This educational Science poster shows the rock cycle and includes samples of rocks from each of the main stages. The poster is suitable for middle to senior school Science classes. Sizes The poster is supplied in two standard educational poster sizes: American paper size: 18 x 24 inches International paper size: A2 (42 x 59.4 cm) File Types We have supplied four zipped files, including two for 16 x 20 inches and two for A2 42 x 59.4 cm. The first of the two files is a high-resolution 300 dpi RGB colour jpeg. The second file is a high-resolution 300 dpi CYMK colour PDF. Why an RGB and a CYMK colour file? RGB jpeg files can be printed at places that print posters (Walgreens & Walmart (US), Officeworks, Big W, Harvey Norman (Australia), and Warehouse Stationery (NZ) even though they automatically convert them to a colour-compatible CYMK file. If you print your file through a printing company, they will probably want a print-ready, high-resolution 300 dpi CYMK PDF. Therefore, the second file has been converted to CYMK colour and includes all necessary printer’s marks. Returns Policy We are not able to accept returns for digital items. If you have a problem with your order, please let me know, and I will try my best to help.

Activities and a short worksheet/assessment I used for my Cambridge Stage 7 Science class

This is a series of lessons designed for KS3 that explore the Earth’s structure, atmosphere and the rock cycle. Lesson 1: Earth’s Structure Lesson 2: Earth’s Atmosphere Lesson 3: Igneous Rocks Lesson 4: Sedimentary Rocks Lesson 5: Metamorphic Rocks Lesson 6: The Rock Cycle Homework Project This series of lessons is available as PDF files and Powerpoint.

Full resourced lesson (apart from the chocolate obviously!!) used for an interview lesson. It worked as I got the job!
