Directed Reading for Content Mastery (in Spanish): A Spanish version of the DirectedReading for Content Mastery is provided for those Spanish-speaking students who are learning English.
Reinforcement: These worksheets provide an additional resource for reviewing the con-cepts of the chapter. There is one worksheet for each section, or lesson, of the chapter.The Reinforcement worksheets are designed to focus primarily on science content and lesson vocabulary, although knowledge of the section vocabulary supports understanding ofthe content. The worksheets are designed for the full range of students; however, they willbe more challenging for your lower-ability students. Answers are provided in the TeacherGuide and Answers section.
Enrichment: These worksheets are directed toward above-average students and allow themto explore further the information and concepts introduced in the section. A variety offormats are used for these worksheets: readings to analyze; problems to solve; diagrams to examine and analyze; or a simple activity or lab which students can complete in the classroom or at home. Answers are provided in the Teacher Guide and Answers section.
Note-taking Worksheet: The Note-taking Worksheet mirrors the content contained in theteacher version—Content Outline for Teaching. They can be used to allow students to takenotes during class, as an additional review of the material in the chapter, or as study notesfor students who have been absent.
AssessmentChapter Review: These worksheets prepare students for the chapter test. TheChapter Review worksheets cover all major vocabulary, concepts, and objectives
of the chapter. The first part is a vocabulary review and the second part is a concept review.Answers and objective correlations are provided in the Teacher Guide and Answers section.
Chapter Test: The Chapter Test requires students to use process skills and understand content.Although all questions involve memory to some degree, you will find that your students willneed to discover relationships among facts and concepts in some questions, and to use higherlevels of critical thinking to apply concepts in other questions. Each chapter test normallyconsists of four parts: Testing Concepts measures recall and recognition of vocabulary andfacts in the chapter; Understanding Concepts requires interpreting information and morecomprehension than recognition and recall—students will interpret basic information anddemonstrate their ability to determine relationships among facts, generalizations, definitions,and skills; Applying Concepts calls for the highest level of comprehension and inference;Writing Skills requires students to define or describe concepts in multiple sentence answers.Answers and objective correlations are provided in the Teacher Guide and Answers section.
Transparency ActivitiesSection Focus Transparencies: These transparencies are designed to generate interestand focus students’ attention on the topics presented in the sections and/or to assess
prior knowledge. There is a transparency for each section, or lesson, in the Student Edition.The reproducible student masters are located in the Transparency Activities section.

Lab PreviewDirections: Answer these questions before you begin the Lab.
1. Why does this lab have a sharp objects safety symbol?
2. According to what characteristics will you arrange the rocks in this lab?
You’ve learned how color often is used to estimate the composition of anigneous rock. The texture of an igneous rock describes its overall appearance,including mineral grain sizes and the presence or absence of bubble holes, forexample. In most cases, grain size relates to how quickly the magma or lavacooled. Crystals you can see without a magnifying lens indicate slower cooling. Smaller, fine-grained crystals indicate quicker cooling, possibly dueto volcanic activity. Rocks with glassy textures cooled so quickly that therewas no time to form mineral grains.
Real-World QuestionWhat does an igneous rock’s texture and color indicate about its formation history?
Materials
Goals■ Classify different samples of igneous rocks
by color and infer their composition.■ Observe the textures of igneous rocks and
infer how they formed.
Safety Precautions WARNING: Some rock samples might havesharp edges. Always use caution while handlingsamples.
Procedure1. Arrange rocks according to color (light or
dark). Record your observations in the datatable in the Data and Observations section.
2. Arrange rocks according to similar texture.Consider grain sizes and shapes, presenceof holes, etc. Use your magnifying lens tosee small features more clearly. Record yourobservations.

Lab PreviewDirections: Answer these questions before you begin the Lab.
1. What warning does the eye safety symbol in this lab give you?
2. How do the materials for classifying sedimentary rocks differ from the materials you used forclassifying igneous rocks?
Sedimentary rocks are formed by compaction and cementation of sediment.Because sediment is found in all shapes and sizes, do you think these charac-teristics could be used to classify detrital sedimentary rocks? Sedimentaryrocks also can be classified as chemical, or organic.
Real-World QuestionHow are rock characteristics used to classifysedimentary rocks as detrital, chemical, ororganic?
Goals■ Observe sedimentary rock characteristics.■ Compare and contrast sedimentary rock
textures.■ Classify sedimentary rocks as detrital,
chemical, or organic.
Materialsunknown sedimentary rock samplesmarking pen5% hydrochloric acid (HCl)dropperpaper towelswatermagnifying lensmetric ruler
Safety Precautions
WARNING: HCl is an acid and can causeburns. Wear goggles and a lab apron. Rinsespills with water and wash hands afterward.
Procedure1. Complete the procedure below and fill in
the Sedimentary Rock Samples table in theData and Observations section.
2. Determine the sizes of sediments in eachsample, using a magnifying lens and a metric ruler. Using Table 2, in your text-book, classify any grains of sediment in the rocks as gravel, sand, silt, or clay. Ingeneral, the sediment is silt if it is grittyand just barely visible, and clay if it issmooth and if individual grains are not visible.
3. Put a few drops of 5% HCl solution oneach rock sample. Bubbling on a rock indi-cates the presence of calcite.
4. Examine each sample for fossils anddescribe any that are present.
5. Determine whether each sample has a granular or nongranular texture.
Analyze Your Data1. Classify your samples as detrital, chemical,
or organic.2. Identify each rock sample.

Concretions
Concretions are features found in sedimentary rocks. They may be spheres or flattened ovals.Concretions are formed when successive layers of cementing material are deposited and precipitatedaround a central core. Concretions may be harder than the surrounding rock. They are found as thesurrounding rock is weathered.
StrategyYou will make a concretion.You will observe the process of precipitation.You will demonstrate the process by which
some sedimentary rocks are formed.
Materials waxed papercardboard (stiff)pie pan (disposable)spoonpatching plasterwaterrock with flat sidedropperfood coloring
Procedure1. Place a piece of waxed paper on a piece of
cardboard.2. In the pie pan, mix some plaster with
water. Add the water drop by drop until theplaster will spread but not run.
3. Place the rock flat side down on the waxedpaper. Spread the plaster over its exposedsides. Record the color of the layer inTable 1.
4. Clean the pie pan thoroughly.5. Place the rock in a location where it can
dry undisturbed.6. On the second day, repeat steps 3 through 5.
Mix a drop of food coloring in the plaster.Record the color of the layer in Table 1.Let dry.
7. On the third day, add another layer using adifferent color. Record the color in the table.
8. On the fourth day, add another layer usinga third color. Record. Contours may bethicker in some places since concretions arenot always smooth.
9. On the fifth day, remove the cardboard andwaxed paper. Sketch the bottom of the concretion on the next page.

Identifying MetamorphicRocks
Metamorphic rocks are those which have been changed by heat, pressure, fluids, and chemicalactivity beneath Earth’s surface. Each metamorphic rock can be identified and classified by itscomposition and texture. Foliated metamorphic rocks have a sheetlike or layering orientation oftheir minerals. Nonfoliated metamorphic rocks are composed of mineral grains that don’t formlayers. In this activity, you will examine and identify samples of both types of metamorphic rocks.
StrategyYou will describe the physical properties of various metamorphic rocks.You will use a key to identify metamorphic rock samples.You will group rocks into foliated and nonfoliated samples.
Materialsnumbered rock samples: gneiss, hornfels,
marble, phyllite, quartzite, schist, slate, and soapstone
magnifying lenscolored pencils
Safety Precautions
Procedure1. Arrange your rock samples in numerical
order. Begin by examining rock sample 1.In the table in the Data and Observationssection, make a sketch of the rock sample.Use colored pencils to make your sketch asrealistic as possible.
2. Next observe the rock’s physical properties,such as the color and the size and arrange-ment of crystals. Write a description of therock in the data table.
3. Use the identification key in Figure 1 toidentify the name of the rock sample. Writethe name in the data table.
4. Based on your observations and what youknow about metamorphic rocks, classifythe rock sample as foliated or nonfoliated.Record your classification in the data table.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 with rock samples2 through 8.

Everyday Quartzite
Quartzite is a nonfoliated rock that is used in many everyday things. Quartzite is most commonly used for friction control on asphalt roads and highways. Adding quartzite to road surfaces helps keep drivers safe. That’s because the hard, angular surfaces created by quartzitecause more friction, which prevents skidding. Quartzite is made up of quartz grains that arefirmly cemented together when sandstone is subjected to heat and pressure.
Directions: Research and define the following terms related to quartzite.
1. aggregates
2. micro-texture of pavement
3. macro-texture of pavement
4. hydroplaning
5. precast concrete panels
6. pink Sioux quartzite

Rocks
Section 1 The Rock Cycle
A. Rock—mixture of minerals, volcanic glass, organic matter, or other material
B. Rock cycle—model showing processes that create and change rock
1. Sedimentary rock can be changed by heat and pressure into metamorphic rock.
2. Metamorphic rock can melt and cool to form igneous rock.
3. Igneous rock can be broken into fragments that may later form sedimentary rock.
C. Conservation of matter—rock cycle never destroys elements of rocks but merely redistributes them
D. James Hutton recognized the rock cycle in 1788 by observing Siccar Point, Scotland.
DISCUSSION QUESTION:What primary processes are involved in the rock cycle? Pressure, temperature, and fragmentation
Section 2 Igneous Rock
A. Igneous rocks form from magma found deep under Earth’s surface.
1. Magma reaching the surface flows from a volcano as lava.
2. Magma trapped below the surface forms large-grained intrusive igneous rock when it
cools.
3. Magma cooling at or near Earth’s surface forms small-grained extrusive igneous rock.
4. Basaltic igneous rocks are dark-colored and dense.
a. Contain iron and magnesium but very little silica
b. Basaltic lava flows freely from a volcano.
5. Granitic igneous rocks are lower density and lighter color.
a. Contain more silica and less iron and magnesium
b. Granitic magma is thick and stiff.
6. Andesitic rocks have a more balanced composition of minerals and density than basaltic orgranitic rocks.
7. Crystal size, large or small, can help identify an igneous rock as intrusive or extrusive.
8. Volcanic glass rocks cool so quickly that few crystals form.
Underlined words andphrases are to be filled in by students on theNote-taking Worksheet.

9. Some rocks have holes formed around once-trapped air and other gases.
B. Igneous rocks are classified in two ways.
1. Where they formed—intrusive (under the Earth’s surface) or extrusive (at or near theEarth’s surface)
2. Magma type—basaltic, granitic, or andesitic
DISCUSSION QUESTION:What does mineral crystal size tell about how rock formed? Large crystals—magma cooled slowly;tiny crystals—magma cooled more rapidly; very few crystals—magma cooled very quickly
Section 3 Metamorphic Rocks
A. Metamorphic rocks—changed by temperature, pressure, and hot fluids
1. Heat and pressure result from one layer of rock on top of another layer.
a. Sometimes temperature and pressure are great enough to melt rock, forming magma.
b. Sometimes pressure flattens mineral grains in rocks without melting them.
c. As pressure and temperature continue to increase over time, one type of rock can changeinto several different metamorphic rocks.
2. Hot, water-rich fluids can move through rock, chemically changing it.
B. Classification of metamorphic rocks—by composition and texture
1. Foliated texture—mineral grains flatten and line up in parallel layers or bands
2. Nonfoliated texture—mineral grains grow and rearrange but do not form layers
DISCUSSION QUESTION:What are three factors that can change rocks? Heat, pressure, and hot, water-rich liquids
Section 4 Sedimentary Rocks
A. Sedimentary rocks—mostly found on the exposed surface of Earth
1. Rock fragments, mineral grains, and bits of plants and animal remains moved by wind,water, ice or gravity are called sediments.
2. Sedimentary rocks form in layers.
B. Sedimentary rocks—classified by what they were made of and how they were formed
C. Detrital sedimentary rocks—made from broken fragments of other rocks
1. When layers of small sediments stick together because of pressure, compaction occurs.
2. When water and other minerals move through open spaces between larger sediments,gluing them together, cementation occurs.

1. Limestone forms from calcite, which was calcium carbonate in solution.
2. Rock salt forms from halite, which was salt in solution.
E. Organic sedimentary rocks—made from remains of once-living plants or animals
1. Chalk—made of microscopic calcite-shell remains of animals
2. Coal—made of plant remains, chemically changed by microorganisms and compacted overmillions of years
F. Rock cycle—a continuous and dynamic process
DISCUSSION QUESTION:How do detrital, chemical, and organic sedimentary rocks differ? Detrital is formed from sedimentfragments compacted or cemented together; chemical is formed from formerly dissolved minerals;organic is formed from once-living things.

Las rocas
El ciclo de las rocasLo que aprenderás■ A distinguir entre una roca y un mineral■ A describir el ciclo de las rocas y algunos de
los cambios que puede sufrir una roca.
Vocabulariorock / roca: mezcla de uno o más minerales,
vidrio volcánico, materia orgánica u otrosmateriales; puede ser ígnea, metamórfica osedimentaria.
rock cycle / ciclo de las rocas: modelo quedescribe el cambio lento de las rocas de unaforma a otra a través del tiempo.
Por qué es importanteLas rocas están en todas partes: debajo de losoceanos, en las altas montañas, y aún en lasaceras adonde caminas.
Rocas ígneasLo que aprenderás■ A reconocer el magma y la lava como los
materiales que se enfrían y forman rocasígneas.
■ A contrastar la formación de rocas intrusi-vas con la formación de rocas extrusivas.
■ A contrastar las rocas ígneas graníticas ybasálticas.
Vocabularioigneous rock / roca ígnea: roca intrusiva o
extrusiva que se forma cuando el magmacaliente se enfría y se endurece.
lava / lava: material rocoso derretido, espeso yviscoso, que fluye de los volcanes hacia lasuperficie terrestre.
intrusive / intrusiva: tipo de roca ígnea que,por lo general, contiene cristales de grantamaño y que se forma cuando el magma seenfría lentamente debajo de la superficieterrestre.
extrusive / extrusiva: roca ígnea de grano finoque se forma cuando el magma se enfría ráp-
idamente sobre o cerca de la superficieterrestre.
basaltic / basáltica: roca ígnea densa y oscuraque se forma del magma rico en magnesio yhierro y deficiente en sílice.
base / base: sustancia cuyo pH es superior a 7.granitic / granítica: roca ígnea de color claro
y rica en sílice que es menos densa que laroca basáltica.
Por qué es importanteLas rocas ígneas son el tipo de roca más abun-dante en la corteza de la Tierra. Contienenmuchos recursos valiosos.
Pistas en las rocasígneas
Has aprendido que el color se usa con frecuen-cia para estimar la composición de las rocasígneas. La textura de las rocas ígneas describesu apariencia general, incluyendo los tamañosde los granos de minerales y la presencia oausencia de hoyos hechos por burbujas. En lamayor parte de los casos, el tamaño del granose relaciona con cuán rápidamente el magma ola lava se enfriaron. Si puedes ver cristales sinuna lupa es porque el enfriamiento fue lento.Los cristales más pequeños de grano más finoindican un enfriamiento más rápido, posible-mente debido a la actividad volcánica. Lasrocas con textura vidriosa se enfriaron tan ráp-idamente que no hubo tiempo para que se for-maran granos minerales.

5. Cementation occurs when water soaks throughrock, picking up atoms and molecules releasedfrom minerals during weathering. This solution ofwater and dissolved materials moves throughopen spaces between sediments. Minerals aredeposited between the pieces of sediments, hold-ing the particles together like glue, making adetrital sedimentary rock. (8/4)

A Cone Cave Place to LiveTransparency Teaching Tips■ This is an introduction to rocks and the rock
cycle. Ask the students to conjecture as to theprocess by which these cones were created. Pointout that a 13,000 foot mountain lies nearby.
■ Ask the students to describe the weathering forcesthat helped shape these rocks.
Content Background■ Sometime before recorded history, Erciyas Dagi
(Mount Erciyas) erupted, pouring out lava andash which filled the surrounding valley. The lavaand ash combined to form soft igneous rock.Weathered by rain, snow, and wind (and wind-blown sand), these mounds eventually came toresemble cones, sometimes referred to as fairychimneys.
■ Soft enough to carve, the cones became homes tovarious people. The caves and interior rooms pro-vided refuge to a sect of Christians in the thirdcentury, at one time housing 30,000 people.
■ The soft volcanic rock is called tuff.■ Göreme National Park, which contains the Cap-
padocian fairy chimneys, is inscribed on theWorld Heritage List. The World Heritage List ismaintained under the umbrella of the UnitedNations Educational, Scientific, and CulturalOrganization (UNESCO). Its purpose is to helppreserve areas of great natural and cultural value.Cappadocia means “land of the fine horses.” Thearea has been captured by many different peoples,including Romans, Mongols, Seljuk Turks, andEgyptian Mamluks.
Answers to Student Worksheet1. They are reasonably hard but soft enough to
carve. Their thickness provides insulation againstthe weather.

3. Wind and rain can erode and shape rock.
Section Focus Transparency 2 (page 43)Bad for Pompeii, Good for ArchaeologyTransparency Teaching Tips■ This is an introduction to igneous rock and how
it’s formed. Ask students to explain the process bywhich a volcano erupts.
■ Explain that magma and lava are the same mater-ial, magma being molten rock beneath the surfaceand lava being molten rock above.
Content Background■ When Mount Vesuvius erupted, it rained volcanic
ash, burning rock, and flaming cinders down onthe surrounding area, which included the townsof Herculaneum (population 5,000) and Pompeii(population 20,000). What lava there was flowedinto Herculaneum. A wave of heat (approximately750°F) cascaded down the mountain, killing all inits path through thermal shock. Many of theremaining people were asphyxiated by the accom-panying clouds of poisonous gas. Approximately2,000 of Pompeii’s citizens were trapped andburied by the falling ash.
■ Italian archaeologist Guiseppe Fiorelli becamedirector of the Pompeii site in 1860. He system-atized excavations at Pompeii and was responsiblefor several important advancements in archaeo-logical methodology. The transparency shows oneprocess pioneered by Fiorelli—making casts of thebodies found at Pompeii. The casts are made bypouring cement into the ash hollows left after thebodies disintigrate.
■ Approximately 20 feet of volcanic ash fell onPompeii and 75 feet on Herculaneum. The ashthen hardened, preserving everything within.
■ Some areas of Pompeii are so well preserved thatarchaeologists have even found ovens still holdingloaves of bread that were baking at the time of theeruption.
■ Rock formed from magma is called intrusive,while that formed from lava is named extrusive.
Answers to Student Worksheet1. It buried the town under many feet of ash, which
later hardened, preserving everything beneath.Since it was covered, Pompeii was spared the rav-ages of weathering and vandalism.
2. Pompeii is extremely well-preserved. Lava flows ata very hot temperature and would have likelydestroyed the city.
Section Focus Transparency 3 (page 44)
Pressured to ChangeTransparency Teaching Tips■ This transparency may be used to introduce stu-
dents to the forces at work beneath the surface ofthe planet. Ask the students to define metamor-phosis and discuss how it applies to rocks.
■ Explain that metamorphic rocks are formed bythe pressure of the rock layers above, by heat fromEarth’s core, and by the infusion of mineral-richwater super-heated by contact with magma. Theseforces combine to chemically alter the rocksinvolved.
■ Sometimes the minerals incorporated as the rockforms are aligned in parallel layers. Such meta-morphic rocks are called foliated rocks. When thislayering does not occur, the rock is classified asnonfoliated. Marble is a nonfoliated rock. Itsinternal mineral layers have a random placement.
Content Background■ There are a number of forces at work on rocks
during metamorphosis. Regional metamorphosisinvolves huge areas and amounts of rock. In thisvariety of metamorphosis, rock becomes deeplyburied and is subjected to intense pressure. Thispressure, combined with underground heat, maybend and fold the rock, even changing its mineralstructure. Regional metamorphosis is common atplate boundaries. The gradual movement of theseplates causes horizontal stress.
■ In contact metamorphosis, areas of rock comeinto contact with intrusions of magma. Themagma super-heats the rock, combining new ele-ments with the rock. This process also can occurdeep beneath the surface as part of regional meta-morphosis.
■ The variations in colors and patterns in marbleare due to the type and amount of minerals thatcombine with the original limestone. Carraramarble, found in one area of Italy, has always beenhighly prized by sculptors, including Michelan-gelo. It is snow-white and contains only traceminerals and color striations.
Answers to Student Worksheet1. Marble is valued because of its color, strength,
resistance to erosion and discoloration, and therelative ease with which it can be shaped.
2. Uses of marble include buildings, monuments,tombstones, and counter and table tops.
3. The variation depends on the type and amount ofminerals that combine with the limestone.

Section Focus Transparency 4 (page 45)
It’s SedimentaryTransparency Teaching Tips■ You may use this transparency to introduce sedi-
mentary rock. Ask the students to notice the rockformations on the transparency. They are in lay-ers. Ask the students to describe how such rocklayers are formed. Explain that sedimentary rockis rock composed of compacted and cementedbits of rock fragments, mineral grains, andremains of plants and animals.
■ Ask the students to conjecture as to how the archis formed.
Content Background■ Sedimentary rock is formed when sediments are
moved by water, wind, and gravity. Each layer ofsediment builds up, layer upon layer, compactingthe levels beneath.
■ As water percolates downward through the layers,it dissolves minerals within the rock fragments.The minerals act as a kind of cement, filling in theopen spaces between the fragments and connect-ing the layers.
■ The arch was formed when water eroded andwashed away softer and looser layers of rock, leav-ing behind the harder, compact layers that formthe arch.
Answers to Student Worksheet1. The arch was formed from rock that was relatively
soft and subject to weathering and erosion. Noticethat the rock is deposited in layers. If harder layersform on top of softer layers, water may erode thesofter layers, leaving an arch.
2. The layers were deposited in order, starting withthe bottom ones. This means that the oldest layersare on the bottom. Unless some force disturbs theorder of the layers, you can tell their relative agesby the order in which they are stacked.
Teaching Transparency (page 47)
The Rock CycleTransparency Teaching Tips■ Obtain specimens of rocks to use with the trans-
parency.■ Use the transparency to show how rocks can
change from one form to another again and againover time.
Reteaching Suggestion■ Have students choose a rock specimen and list the
ways in which that particular rock can changeinto other rock forms.
ExtensionsActivity: Have students choose a rock specimen,identify its type, and determine its position in therock cycle.Challenge: Have students think of another way toshow the rock cycle—perhaps a diagram or aposter. Have them explain their versions to theclass.
Answers to Student Worksheet1. metamorphic2. gravel, sand, and sediments deposited by a stream3. Igneous rocks are formed by the processes of melt-
ing and cooling. Metamorphic rocks are formed byheat, pressure, and fluid activity. Sedimentary rocksform by cementing and compaction.
