Description

You are never too old for comics! In this fun rock cycle comic activity, students create a rock cycle comic strip to show their understanding of how rocks change from one form to another through the rock cycle.

The resource includes an easy-to-follow rock cycle background reading, directions, project expectations, editable rubrics, and ready-to-use comic strip templates.

Students will take a sediment on an adventure through the rock cycle, showing how it can become igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rock before eventually becoming sediment once again.

Finished comics make eye-catching additions to bulletin boards, binders, interactive notebooks, or even a parent’s refrigerator door.

Downloads

How do I find my downloads?

At the top of the page click MY ACCOUNT, then click DOWNLOADS in the list on the left. A link to all of your downloads can be found there.

You will also receive an automated email after each purchase with a link to every resource, so check your inbox and your spam or junk folder. Be sure to save your purchases to your hard drive and consider backing them up.

My download has a file-path error and will not open!

This is usually a character-length problem that happens when files sit in the Downloads folder on a PC. That folder is buried so deep on the computer that it can cause errors.

Try saving the file to My Documents instead of Downloads and see if that helps. If you are still stuck, email me and I will help you sort it out.

What types of resources do you sell?
