What is Magma Cooling and Rock Formation about?

Students will role play as minerals cooling at different rates from magma to learn how igneous rocks form. They will then examine rock samples from Mount Rainier and record differences and similarities to hypothesize about rock formation methods. Magma forms deep underground from melted mantle and oceanic plates. It rises toward the surface, cooling at different rates to form different igneous rocks like granite and andesite depending on whether it cools slowly underground or erupts as lava.
