by Bryce Fiero
This lesson is about the rock cycle. Students will start by cutting and folding paper crystals. Then students review what they already know about rocks and the rock cycle. They use their understanding of the rock cycle to engineer a model that demonstrates how the rock cycle functions using crayons.
