Energy flow through the rock cycle is the focus of this Grade 6 science worksheet, bringing together two important Earth science topics: energy and the continuous changes that occur within the rock cycle.

Designed for middle school science instruction, this resource provides a topic-specific worksheet for exploring the relationship between energy and the rock cycle. It gives teachers a resource centered on a clearly defined Grade 6 science topic without introducing unrelated Earth science concepts.

Explore Energy and the Rock Cycle

The rock cycle describes the ongoing changes associated with rocks. This worksheet focuses specifically on energy flow through that cycle, making it relevant to lessons that introduce or revisit the connection between energy and Earth science processes.

Students can use the resource as part of a classroom lesson focused on the rock cycle and its relationship with energy. Its specific topic also makes it suitable for reinforcing a lesson or providing additional practice during an Earth science unit.
