THE JOURNEY OF ROCK: Types, Formation, and the Rock Cycle | Science 5

Описание: Have you ever wondered if a rock can float on water, or how a solid stone can turn into the soil in your backyard? 🌍 In this video, we dive deep into the world of Earth and Space Science to explore how rocks are formed, classified, and used in our daily lives!
Based on the Grade 5 Science curriculum, we’ll go beyond just looking at stones. We will investigate the very grains that make them up and the incredible journeys they take through the Rock Cycle.
In this video, you will learn:
• The 5 Key Characteristics of Rocks: How to describe rocks using texture, grain size, color, hardness, and toughness.
• Igneous Rocks: Formed from the cooling of "molten fire" (magma and lava). Discover the difference between intrusive and extrusive cooling!
• Sedimentary Rocks: The "history books" of the Earth. Learn how burial, compaction, and the preservation of fossils create these layered wonders.
• Metamorphic Rocks: Witness the transformation! See how intense heat and pressure deep underground "make over" existing rocks into something entirely new.
• The Rock Cycle: A never-ending process of weathering, erosion, melting, and solidification that keeps our planet changing.
Test Your Knowledge! 🧠 Stick around until the end and check the pinned comment for a 15-item High-Order Thinking Quiz to see if you’ve become a Rock Expert!
