​“I Can” Statement

1) I can analyze and interpret data to describe the physical and chemical properties of minerals and rocks.

2) I can classify rocks and minerals based on the properties and environment in which they were formed.

​

Standard H.E.3A.5: Analyze and interpret data to describe the physical and chemical properties of minerals and rocks and classify each based on the properties and environment in which they were formed.

Draw a pictue of YOUR version of stone soup.

​What is a Rock?

• Rocks and minerals are NOT the same.

• A rock is an mixture of minerals.

• Most rocks are made up of several minerals. 

• Rocks do NOT have a definite composition.

VC: Rocks

The upcoming clip ...

• explains that minerals are the building blocks of rocks.

• describes the 3 different types of rocks.

• describes the ways that the 3 different types of rocks are formed.

What did you learn from the webquest?

Multiple Choice

There are 3 types of rocks. They are ...

• Volcanic - Magma - Bedrock

• Metamorphic - Igneous - Sedimentary

• Minerals - Fossil - Crust

• Lava - Magma - Crust

Multiple Choice

What type of rock is made from magma?

• SEDIMENTARY

• METAMORPHIC

• IGNEOUS

Multiple Choice

What type of rock is made of tiny fragments of rocks?

• SEDIMENTARY

• IGNEOUS

• METAMORPHIC

Multiple Choice

Which rocks are made by heat and pressure?

• IGNEOUS

• SEDIMENTARY

• METAMORPHIC

Multiple Choice

The hot liquid inside the Earth is called ...

• CRUST

• BEDROCK

• MAGMA

• VOLCANO

Multiple Choice

Liquid that flows when a volcano erupts

• WATER

• MUD

• LAVA

• MAGMA

Multiple Choice

How are rocks classified?

• Based on the way they are formed

• Based on their colors

• Based on their temperature

• Based on their size

Multiple Choice

Look at the image. These are .... rocks.

• Igneous

• Sedimentary

• Metamorphic

Multiple Choice

Look at the image. These rocks are ...

• Igneous

• Sedimentary

• Metamorphic

Poll

How are you feeling so far about your knowledge of rocks?

Multiple Choice

The outside part of our planet is called...

• CRUST

• BEDROCK

• SOIL

• MAGMA

Multiple Choice

Mark the description of IGNEOUS ROCKS

• Tiny fragments of rocks. Great pressure transform these rocks. Wind or water flow remove soil and rock from the surface of the planet and transport them to other locations.

• They come from volcanoes. When lava, gases and ash escape to the surface, they get cold and solidify.

• They are formed under the surface of the earth, where heat and pressure are very intense. Those rocks do not melt. The minerals in those rocks change chemically and form the strong rocks, which can have different colours.

Multiple Choice

Mark the description of METAMORPHIC ROCKS

• They are formed under the surface of the earth, where heat and pressure are very intense. Those rocks do not melt. The minerals in those rocks change chemically and form the strong rocks, which can have different colours.

• Tiny fragments of rocks. Great pressure transform these rocks. Wind or water flow remove soil and rock from the surface of the planet and transport them to other locations.

• They come from volcanoes. When lava, gases and ash escape to the surface, they get cold and solidify.

​Graded assignment at CK12.org.​

• Go to www.flocabulary.com

• We will watch the video as a class.

• Afterwards, complete the Types of Rocks Vocab Game only.

• Do you want to be a rockstar? First, you need to know the three types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. In this video, you’ll learn how each type of rock forms, how to identify a rock’s type and how the processes of the rock cycle can move sediment and change one type of rock into another.

• Lava

• refers to the physical appearance or character of a rock, such as grain size, shape, and arrangement.

• rocks that cool slowly typically have visible individual minerals.

• rapid cooling rocks ​have smaller crystals.

• used to help decide the rock type.​
