Description

Overview

Rocks, Soil, and the Rock Cycle is a Grade 4 Science Rock Cycle Ontario classroom-ready bundle with 10 printable worksheets that guide students from weathering through soil formation and into the rock cycle. This print-only resource bundle includes printable PDF worksheets and PDF answer keys with rubric. It is built for Grade 4, Science, 10, {standards} expectations in Ontario and supports a coherent sequence of Earth-material learning.

What's Included

✅ Grade 4 Weathering Agents Worksheet | Rock Changes Science Ontario – Students examine how water, wind, ice, and temperature change rocks over time.
✅ Grade 4 Soil Types and Their Properties Worksheet | Ontario Science – Learners investigate how different soils look and behave based on their properties.
✅ Grade 4 Soil Formation and Soil Horizons Worksheet | Ontario Science – Students model soil formation and identify the layers of soil (horizons).
✅ Grade 4 Sedimentary Rock Formation Worksheet | Ontario Science Layers – Learners trace how sediments accumulate and become sedimentary rock.
✅ Grade 4 Classifying Rocks by Texture and Composition Science Worksheet – Students practice sorting rocks using observable texture and composition clues.
✅ Grade 4 Rock Cycle Worksheet | Ontario Science with Doodle Note & Guide – Students sequence rock-cycle processes and justify how rocks change form.
✅ Grade 4 Mineral Properties Worksheet | Ontario Science Identification Activity – Learners identify minerals by linking properties to classification criteria.
✅ Grade 4 Metamorphic Rock Formation Worksheet | Ontario Science Activity – Students explain how heat and pressure transform rocks into metamorphic types.
✅ Grade 4 Igneous Rocks Worksheet | Intrusive vs Extrusive Cooling Science – Learners compare intrusive and extrusive cooling and the textures they produce.
✅ Grade 4 Erosion and Deposition Worksheet | Ontario Science Landforms – Students connect erosion and deposition to the landforms that result.

Skills & Standards

Aligned to the Ontario science framework, this unit emphasizes disciplinary core ideas about Earth materials and the processes that change them. Across the sequence, students build crosscutting concepts such as patterns over time, cause and effect, and systems within Earth’s surface. Learners practice modeling and analytical reasoning by using diagrams and structured sequences to connect weathering, soil horizons, rock formation, and the full rock cycle. Evidence-based explanation skills are reinforced through prompts that ask students to use observations (texture, properties, and typical outcomes) to support their claims about how and why rocks change. Students also gain targeted abilities to classify rocks and minerals using observable features, distinguish sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic formation processes, and apply the rock-cycle logic to real-world questions about erosion, deposition, and landforms.

How to Use

Plan this single Grade 4 unit for about 1–3 weeks, moving from weathering and soil building foundations into rock formation and culminating with the rock cycle, minerals, and erosion/deposition landforms. Start with a brief warm-up using the weathering agents worksheet concepts, then follow with guided practice classifying rocks by texture and composition. Use the rock cycle and landforms pages as mid-unit and end-of-unit checkpoints, adding exit tickets that require one evidence-based sentence connecting a process (like pressure or cooling) to a visible result (like texture or horizon features).
