EDDL 5131: Week 10/11: Activity 2: Find and Integrate Video Resources

Topic: The Rock Cycle
Learning Outcome:

After this lesson, students will be able to:

-Identify local rocks as being classified as either igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary.

-Explain the life cycle of rocks.

Learning activity:

This activity will be done in the classroom.  After watching the video, students will be placed into groups of 3.  They will receive a small box of selected rocks.  They will sort the rocks into the 3 categories, and then will check with other groups to see if they agree.  The class will meet after all groups have finished, and there will be a discussion about why groups chose to categorize the rocks the way they did.

I chose this video because it will be motivating for the class.  There are very good examples and explanations given by an engaging speaker.  The pictures are clear and overall the video is age appropriate.
