To simulate some of the "rock cycle" you need a small square of aluminum foil, sugar, candle and tweezers/test tube holders. What you are going to do first is take the aluminum foil and fold up the sides. Then you put just enough sugar on the aluminum foil to make an even layer on the bottom. Then you light the candle. Then hold the aluminum foil with the tweezers and hold it above the candle. Soon you will see the sugar melt. How this ties in to the rock cycle is the sugar takes place as the sediment, the melted sugar takes place as the magma and when the "magma" cools and solidifies it turns into igneous rock.
