Rocks and the Rock Cycle Lab Assessment
Rocks and the Rock Cycle Lab Assessment: SP24: GEOL-4L Sec 01 - Earth Systems Lab
Instructions
This assignment must be completed after you attend the second 4L class about the geosphere. Some of
the questions will be based on the Powerpoint presentation, but most of the questions will be based on
the activities, mineral identification, video(s) -- if your instructor has shown or shared any with you, and
your completed worksheet. This assignment is "open notes," so make sure you have access to the slide
presentation, and to the pages associated with the activities you conducted in class.
