Holistic Rating: In-Depth coverage of this standard.
| Pages C36-C49 and C56-63 provide in-depth coverage of this standard. |
Aspects that help student learning:
The activity on pages C56-C57, combined with the rock cycle on page C61, should help students understand the pattern of rock transformations.
Aspects that do not help student learning:
The level of technical detail will overwhelm students. Extraneous terminology includes sophisticated terms and concepts such as clastic, and the differences between contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, and burial metamorphism.
