Rock Cycle & Classification Lab
The Rock Cycle & Classification Lab generator produces earth-science worksheets that combine a rock cycle diagram puzzle (students place the correct process labels — melting, cooling, weathering, compaction — in the right arrows) with rock classification card activities that distinguish igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic types by their properties. The multi-format approach deepens geology comprehension aligned to NGSS MS-ESS2 for Grades 6–8. Answer key and teacher guide included.
