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

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
