This Classroom Connectors lesson plan teaches students the definition of a rock, the differences between igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, and the parts of the rock cycle. The site provides goals, objectives, an outline, time required, materials, activities, and closure ideas for the lesson. The Classroom Connectors address content with an activity approach while incorporating themes necessary to raise the activity to a higher cognition level. The major motivation is to employ instructional strategies that bring the students physically and mentally into touch with the science they are studying. Educational levels: Middle school
