Igneous Rocks

Sedimentary Rocks

MetamorphicRocks

Matter Measurement Potpourri

What processes help form

igneous rocks?

What is the hardening of

magma or lava.

What starts the change

from an igneous rock to a

sedimentary rock?

What is weathering.

What igneous rock has tiny

holes formed by gases escaping

from the lava as it cools

and floats?

What is Pumice.

Give an example of an

igneous rock.

What is Pumice, Granite, Obsidian,

Basalt, or Gabbro.

Describe the rock cycle.

What is the ongoing Earth

processes that change rocks

from one kind to another

over time.

What are rocks?

What is Earth materials

made of one or more

minerals.

What processes help form

sedimentary rocks?

What is weathering and

erosion,as well as depositing

and sticking together of

sediments.

What processes help form

sedimentary rocks?

What is weathering and

erosion,as well as depositing

and sticking together of

sediments.

Give an example of a

sedimentary rock.

What is Conglomerate,

Limestone, Sandstone,

or Shale.

How do fossils form?

What is organisms die and

are quickly buried by sediments.

When the sediments harden, the

remains are trapped and preserved

in Earth’s rocks.

What is one thing that can

change a rock to a

metamorphic rock?

What is heat and pressure.

How is a mineral different

from a rock?

What is a mineral is a

natural solid that has crystal

shapes and a rock is made

up of one or more minerals.

TRUE or FALSE

Metamorphic rocks can be

formed from any kind of rock.

What is TRUE. They can

be formed from sedimentary,

igneous, or even other

metamorphic rocks.

Give an example of a

metamorphic rock.

What is Marble, Schist, Slate,

Gneiss,or Quartzite.

One way scientist classify rocks

is by how they formed. Choose

one type of rock and explain how

you think it might have formed.

What is: Sedimentary-pieces of

minerals stick together

Igneous- mixtures of mineralsharden to form crystals

Metamorphic-existing rocks are changed by heat and

pressure

Matter is…

What is anything that takes

up space and has mass.

Explain the meaning of mass, how

you would measure it, and

what tools you might use to do so.

What is the amount of matter

something has. You would use

a pan balance.

What is volume? Also tell how you

would measure it and what tools

you might use to do so.

What is the amount of space

matter takes up. You could use a

ruler or a graduate depending on

whether you are finding the volume

of a solid or liquid.

What is density?

What is the comparison of the

amount of matter of an object to

the amount of space it takes up.

You could use a calculator or

paper/pencil to divide the rock’s

mass by its volume.

Explain conduction and

give an example.

What is the movement of heat

through matter as particles bump

into each other. (a cold spoon

becomes warm/hot when placed in

hot chocolate.

Name the layers

of the Earth.

What is the

CORE, MANTLE, and CRUST.

Name the four tests for

a mineral.

What is streak, hardness,

luster, and color.

Name the hardest and

softest mineral.

What is diamond is the

hardest and talc is the

softest mineral.

Explain the formation

of crystals.

What is crystals are formed

as melted rock cools. The

more slowly the material

cools, the larger the crystals

are that form.

Name at least five ways rocks

are used in our daily lives.

What is jewelry, coins, metal

objects, electric wire, pencil

lead, table salt, matches,

statues, sidewalks, etc.
