About this worksheet
Rock cycle sequencing worksheet for middle school Earth science. Students read six mixed-up steps of the rock cycle and put them in order — from cooling magma to weathering, transport, sedimentary rock, and metamorphic rock, and back to magma — building a clear picture of how Earth's materials cycle.
This scaffolded, one-page activity keeps the science accurate: weathering and transport stay separate, and metamorphism and melting are treated as distinct steps, so students don't blur the ideas they most often confuse. After ordering the chain, a short comprehension question asks them to pinpoint where sedimentary rock forms, using evidence straight from the steps.
Everything is print-and-go: a single student page plus a complete answer key. The clean Order-and-Step table is easy to grade at a glance, and the reading level is pitched for grades 5–8.
Use it as a warm-up, a reading check, an exit ticket, or homework. It supports NGSS MS-ESS2-1 (cycling of Earth's materials) and builds the close-reading and sequencing skills in CCSS RST.6-8.3. Just print and teach.
