Study for Monday’s test!

Today in class, we discussed metamorphic rocks. Remember, these rocks form when any rock is exposed to intense heat and/or pressure. The resulting rocks will have been recrystallized as a result. The most obvious clue that a rock is metamorphic is the appearance of banding, which is visible in the rock gneiss.

Please complete all of the assigned sections in your ESRT work book. These are due on Friday. The sections include: Minerals, Sedimentary, Igneous, and Metamorphic Rocks, and the Rock Cycle. The test will be on Monday.

Today in class we continued exploring sedimentary rocks. We completed the digital lab and outline. We will have a rocks and minerals test one week from today.

Homework

Please complete the Engrade quiz entitled “Sedimentary Rocks (Igneous and Minerals as well).” Periods 8 and 9 need to finish up their scripts and images for the Videolicious project, period 8’s is due tomorrow, and period 9’s is due Wednesday.

YOU MUST BRING YOUR ESRT WORKBOOKS TO CLASS TOMORROW!!
