Mr. Pastel guides students through a lesson on rock transformations, focusing on how magma and sediment form. The lesson includes a warm-up, a simulation to explore rock formation, and a video explaining weathering and erosion. Students learn about the role of energy from the Sun and Earth's interior in these processes. The lesson concludes with a modeling tool exercise and a review of the video to correct misconceptions about sunlight's role in rock breakdown.
