Rock Transformation Concepts Assessment

Mr. Bastal introduces the Amplify Rock Transformations module, guiding students through a warm-up activity involving geographical features and a simulation exploring rock transformations. Students analyze different rock types and review concepts like magma and sediment. Optional homework involves describing a rock at home, with a focus on safety during quarantine.

What is the first step in the Amplify Rock Transformations activity?

• Start the simulation immediately.

• Complete a quiz on previous knowledge.

• Log in to Amplify and click on rock transformations.

• Read the entire chapter before starting.

In the warm-up activity, which geographical feature is easiest to identify on the map?

• Mountain

• Mantle

• Island

• Ocean

What happens when you add sediment in the rock transformation simulation?

• A new layer is formed.

• It melts immediately.

• It disappears.

• It turns into magma.

Which tool in the simulation allows you to create a volcano?

• Move plates

• Add sediment

• Bring magma to the surface

• Add weather

What color represents igneous rocks in the simulation?

• Purple

• Green

• Blue

• Pink

Which type of rock is granite classified as?

• Igneous

• Mantle rock

• Metamorphic

• Sedimentary

What is magma described as in the review section?

• Liquid rock underground

• Solid rock above ground

• A type of sedimentary rock

• Pebbles and sand

What happens to sediment in the simulation?

• It forms a new rock layer.

• It becomes magma.

• It remains unchanged.

• It turns into a volcano.

What is the purpose of the optional family homework activity?

• To collect rocks from outside.

• To describe a rock found at home.

• To create a rock model.

• To write an essay on rocks.

Why is the family homework activity optional?

• It requires special equipment.

• It involves outdoor activities during quarantine.

• It is too difficult for students.

• It is not related to the lesson.
