Rock Transformation Stories Answer Key

This worksheet presents six first-person scenarios told from the perspective of different rocks as they undergo transformations. Students must identify the geological processes involved-such as weathering, heat and pressure, or melting-and determine which new rock type is formed. Learners write complete sentences describing the transformation, reinforcing scientific explanation skills. This activity enhances understanding of how rocks change over time through natural forces. It also promotes inferential thinking as students deduce unseen processes from clues in the narrative. The creative format helps students remember complex concepts by engaging both imagination and scientific reasoning.
