Rock-Cycle Stations

I love stations.

Here's an oldie but goodie.
a freebie, ready-for-print station activity from Illinois State Museum Geology Online:


Just print the dice (colored paper not required).  
Cut and tape together the dice.
Set up the stations.  
Photocopy the worksheets. 
And voilà:


The students follow the rock cycle, recording what happens to them and where they move to.  Followed by creating a cartoon strip of their travels.

It's very fun to watch because no 2 students/rocks take the same exact journey.

LOVE this idea. However, the link is no longer valid. Any idea where I can find the resources for this activity?

Thank you for posting the fresh link to get the two page handout. Do you have a link to the dice and how to create the stations? It looks like a wonderfully engaging activity and I really want to use it.

Thanks,

Jenn

Thank you so much for sending the direct link to the activity with the dice. I had tried going to the website myself but the links would not give me the whole activity.

I found this one by typing in Ride the Rock Cycle in a google search.
