Rockumentary – RoShamBo 3.0 style
Rundell Earth Science

You will help the rocks tell their story of the last
2 BILLION years in the Boulder area.
Use your rock samples, pictures, notes from the hike, tour guide of layers,
and rock identification data table to put your project together.
The following information must be included in your ROCKUMENTARY:

~ LAYERS – Include information about each formation we hiked through [quartzite, Fountain, Lyons, Morrison, and Dakota]. Say a bit about how the layer was formed (see "tour guide" layers), what the time frame was in millions of years ago, what were the "events" when the layer was formed [flood, drought, swampy, river, etc], and describe what it looked like overall.

~ ROCK SAMPLES – Use actual samples or pictures, or sketches to give a detailed description of each type of rock you collected from the layers. Include the rock classification (igneous, metamorphic, sedimentary), describe texture, color, any cool patterns, easy to break or not, any distinguishing features.

~ HISTORY – Describe the overall "play by play" of what happened over the last 2 billion years in the Boulder area. Tell this as if you are speaking for the rocks and what they went through as the Ancestral Rockies eroded down and became a completely flat plane, then the next layers were formed on top and eventually uplifted to form the landscape we see today.

"Musical" Options for Rockumentary Display

~ TECHNO = power point, slide show, or other computer generated format

~ TRAIL MAP RAP = draw a map of the hike we took with information along the way about what the hiker would see, poster format with sketches

~ HARD ROCK = use actual rock samples to show a cross section of the layers we hiked through, poster format with pictures

Each group will do an informal presentation of their
ROCKUMENTARY next Thursday, Nov 12

Project Ingredients

3 cups Power Point showing recipe book for the natural hazard

2 cups working model that demonstrates how your natural hazard works

4 cups cooking show which is the creative format for sharing your information with the class – cooking time 10 minutes

Recipe Book Requirements
1. List of ingredients
a. List everything that has to be present for your natural hazard to occur.
2. Step by Step directions for cooking your natural hazard
a. Use graphics and key ideas to explain how different elements combine. This is where you explain each process that happens in order for this natural hazard to occur. Cards on your power point should be visually organized and easy to read the information… no paragraphs! NO CUT AND PASTE!!!
3. Recipe variations
a. Describe at least one actual event (where it happened, when, who was affected, damage, clean-up… Was it predicted?...)
b. Explain emergency procedures that you must follow during this natural disaster.

Working Model Requirements – your model must be a visual representation that actually brings the natural hazard into the room for the audience to experience. It is some sort of working model that allows us to see the natural hazard in action.

Cooking Show Requirements
1. Every chef has a specific part in the presentation
2. Cooking show format is used in a creative way
3. All information from the power point is included clearly and accurately
4. The working model is demonstrated
