1/29/16 (Week 4)

This week, I once again continued to look for a mentor. Once again, I was unsuccessful. We had limited time this week because our teacher had to look at our blog and then we had to change some things. After that, Grace and I looked for sources (we found a book, see Sources). We failed write down any information due to lack of time. Next week, I hope to find a mentor and begin to help Grace with research.

Rock Cycle (Research from Week 2)

The rock cycle is centered around magma, which cools into igneous rock, which, if pressure and heat is added to it, it creates metamorphic rock. If the igneous rock erodes and is deposited in riverbeds, sedimentary rock  will form. Sedimentary rock will also form if metamorphic rock erodes and is deposited in riverbeds. Metamorphic and sedimentary rock, when melted, returns to magma and the cycle starts all over again.

Week 3 (1/22/16)

Hello! It's Madi again. This week, I helped Grace set up her blog and started trying to email our mentor. You can see Grace's blog here. We were unsuccessful. Next week, Grace will continue to research the rock cycle, and I will look for a mentor.
Message I sent to a potential mentor:

Week 2 (1/13/16)

Hello there! Obviously, I have not blogged about weeks 1 & 2. During that time, I was setting up this blog and deciding what topic we would do. This week, we continued setting up the blog and our project. Don't worry, not every post will be as boring as this one.

Introduction

Welcome to "What if Rocks Never Changed?"! This project is made by Madi W. and Grace R.; but this blog in particular is ran by Madi. In this blog, I will talk about what the Earth would be like today if the rock cycle never happened. This blog is a part of a genius hour project. As of 1/13/15, none of this information has been verified. We are working on getting a mentor to help us and verify our information.
