<DIV><o:p>Louisiana Bench marks for Science- Students develop an understanding 
 that rocks are made of minerals and use established procedures 
to identify mineral samples. Research on the rock cycle shows 
student understandings of the dynamic processes that result 
in the formation of other rocks. Ending with an awareness 
of the four density layers of Earth, students gain an understanding 
of the theory of plate tectonics</o:p></DIV>
