a copy of the Activity Sheet – Laboratory Activity 3: Rock Cycle. Before the
actual activity starts, the teacher will then ask each group to formulate one
question.

Laboratory Activity No. 3
Rock Cycle
Corrected by:
The Rock Cycle is a group of changes wherein igneous rock can change into sedimentary rock or into metamorphic
rock; sedimentary rock can change into metamorphic rock or into igneous rock; and metamorphic rock can change into igneous or
sedimentary rock. This is a simple activity that demonstrates rock cycle.
Objectives:
1. To explain the rock cycle;
2. To realize that heating, cooling and pressure play important roles in the formation of different types of rocks.
Materials:
sugar cubes aluminium foil/ plate 1 piece of rug
candle match/ lighter small plate/ saucer
hammer/ pliers 1 piece of paper
Procedures:
PART I.
1. Examine the sugar cubes. Place the cubes into the piece of paper before crushing them into a powder. What part of the rock
cycle does this represent?
2. Pour the crushed sugar into an aluminium foil/ plate.
3. Place the candle into the saucer, then lit.
4. Handle the aluminium plate using a piece of rug. Carefully put the aluminium foil/ plate with powdered sugar over the flamed
candle for 2 minutes. Write down your observations. What part of the rock cycle does this represent?
5. Remove the aluminium foil from the flame. Let it cool for 2-3 minutes and observe what happened to the sugar. What part of
the rock cycle does this represent?
6. Then, break the hardened sugar into pieces. What part of the rock cycle does this represent?
PART II.
Create a rock cycle based on the procedures. Make your own diagram using boxes and arrows and indicate the heating and
cooling processes. Label the boxes that represents the igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.
