Exploring the Rock Cycle with Starburst Candy

The video from Home-School Honey demonstrates how to illustrate the rock cycle using starbursts. It covers the formation of sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks through hands-on activities. The video emphasizes safety when using hot water and encourages viewers to try the activities themselves.

What is the main topic of the video?

• The life cycle of plants

• The rock cycle using Starbursts

• The solar system

• The water cycle

• Igneous rock

• Metamorphic rock

• Volcanic rock

• Sedimentary rock

How are sedimentary rocks formed?

• By freezing and thawing

• By melting and cooling

• By pressing sediments together

• By volcanic eruptions

What happens to the appearance of Starbursts when they become metamorphic rocks?

• They swirl together

• They remain the same

• They melt completely

• They turn into liquid

How are igneous rocks formed?

• By erosion

• By freezing and thawing

• By pressing sediments together

• By melting and cooling

What is the final step in forming igneous rocks in the video?

• Freezing them

• Heating them up

• Cooling them down

• Pressing them together
