We learn about three rock types. Can you answer these questions using Mister Sandy’s video?

Sedimentary

• Where are these rocks usually found?
• How long do they take to form? What do they make from sandstone? Some
• sedimentary rocks are made from animals, how does this happen? Where in the
• world can we find examples of sedimentary rocks?

Metamorphic

• Meta means change and morphic means form, what does that tell us about how the rock is made? 
• Metamorphic rocks can be transparent – what does that mean?

Igneous

• How are these rocks made? 
• What colours did Sandy show us?
• These rocks can form crystals – how does this happen?
• Where does lava come from?
• What is it called before it is called lava?

Now that you know about the three rock types, answer these questions:

• Which rocks have glittering parts? What are these made of?
• Which type of rock can make the thinnest rock in the world?
• When sedimentary layers of rock get squashed, they become which rock?
• Which kind of rocks are best for finding fossils?
• Which rocks can be broken most easily?
