Rock Cycle Game

Today we played a game to learn all about the rock cycle.  The kids traveled between seven stations:   clouds, mountain, river, ocean, volcano  earth's interior, and soil.  At each station they would roll the dice and be told where to travel through the rock cycle and diagram their journey as a rock.  It included factors such as erosion, tectonic plate movement and subduction, pressure, magma, and more!  (I just like to say MAGMA like Dr. Evil!!).  

 See our rock cycle candy demonstration here.  MMMMMM!!

I got my idea here
