The Rock Cycle – Complete Lesson Pack (with YouTube Video)
 
Why Choose Learning Made Fun
Because too many rock cycle lessons are dry, over-complicated, or leave students mixing up the three types of rocks. Children deserve to see the processes, act them out, and feel confident explaining how rocks change over time. This lesson brings science to life in a way that is simple, visual, and memorable.
 
How This Resource Engages Learners
By combining a high-energy YouTube video, interactive games, and differentiated worksheets, this pack turns the rock cycle into an adventure. From matching cartoons to drawing the cycle, every task builds step by step, helping students master tricky concepts with confidence. The plenary bean bag game gets the whole class moving while reinforcing key learning.
