Rockin' to the Rock Cycle Lyrics

Rockin' to the Rock Cycle...has never been more fun!


If you are teaching Earth Science and the Rock Cycle,  check out my original rap song to teach the cycle.  Please feel free to re-record with your own (and probably much better) voice before you play it for your students haha!

Enjoy!

There is a preview to this song, or you can purchase the whole thing in my Teacher Pay Teacher store




Rockin to the Rock Cycle Lyrics
Written and Created by Jennifer Scioscio

Chorus: A cycle is something
Always changing
Round and round
The earth is rearranging

Let’s start with igneous rock
It comes from inside the earth- what a shock

Magma or lava
is how it will start…
A volcano or crack
rips the earth apart

Magma is lava
Inside earth it flows
Lava is magma
When it is exposed

It hardens and forms
An igneous rock
Let’s continue our song
Were on to sedimentary rock

Chorus


Erosion and weathering
Sediments and sand
Pebbles and mud
Pile up to make the land




Layers and layers
bones, plants and dust
Clamshells, plankton
pile up to form the crust.

Chorus


Now we’re gonna talk
About the metamorphic rock

Meta means
After…beyond, along
Morphic means
Change. Lets get back to the song

Metamorphic rock
starts out as something old
heat and pressure
make the new rock unfold

some change a little
others change a lot
It all depends on how much pressure
and how hot

Chorus

A cycle is something
always changing
Round and round
The earth is rearranging

Rocks are cool
Rocks are hot
Rocks are fun
Give them a shot

Collect them
Study them
Give them to a friend
Break them open
The fun has no end

Chorus
