HIghly recommended! On PAGE 3 of Student Exploration I recommend providing a word bank for the rock cycle process words (only three listed)
Recommended for: Earth/Space ScienceGizmo User from Ohio
Good to teach erosion, deposition, sediment and soil for 4th( but don't use the given resources for rock cycle).
