Rock Assembly Movie

Minerals

Fire-formed magma

Rock soup, rock soup

Can be metamorphic,

Sedimentary,

Or igneous, igneous.

Minerals make them all.

Igneous is fire-formed,

Sedimentary’s water-formed,

Metamorphic’s formed by

Heat and pressure

From the crunching

Of Earth’s crust, Earth’s crust.

words & music by Cam, Chris, Emily, Laura and J.J.

The Igneous Rock

I am fire-formed.

I am made of magma.

Yoyo magma,

I am from fire.

Yoyo fire yoyo fire.

I have gas bubbles

Yoyo bubbles yoyo bubbles.

My brother’s basalt; he’s dull and brown.

My cousin’s geode; she’s shiny and round.

My sister’s a lava bomb, made from fire.

My uncle’s gabbro; he’s hard as a plier.

They are all igneous, just like me.

Unlike sedimentary,

We’re not formed in the sea.

We . . . are the igneous rocks!

words & music by Andrew, Aubrey, Brian, Nathan and Yavar.

Metamorphic Rock Rap

First off rock soup

then heat and pressure

Metamorphic made by

crunch, crush, shift, smash,

smushed and pushed

when it’s cooked

it turns

SOLID

words & music by A.J., Ana, Rowan, Sydona and Tabby

Song of the Sedimentary Rock

I used to be granite

But I got weathered

Into wet sediments

Carried to the ocean

There the little bits of me

Layered with other sediments.

I’m a sedimentary rock,

I’m a sedimentary rock.

Eventually I dried up

Revealing a new me.

I’m a sedimentary rock,

That’s how I became me.

words & music by Abby, Ben, Claire, Patrick, Sam and William
