This
study
investigates
misconceptions
held
by
students
about
how
rocks
form.
It
involved
analyzing
narrative
essays
on
rock
formation
written
by
pre-service
elementary
school
teachers,
most
of
whom
had
completed
a
college-level
course
in
earth
science.
These
misconceptions
arise
from
deeply
held
but
largely
unexamined
beliefs
(conceptual
prisms)
that
result
from
the
interaction
of
the
student's
world

in
which
students
are
asked
to
use
their
Earth-Moon-Sun

before.
The

is
to
