Rocks and Minerals

This resource provides a comprehensive overview of rocks and minerals, focusing on their definitions and classifications. It covers three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, explaining how they are formed from minerals, sediments, and geological processes. Examples such as granite, sandstone, and gneiss illustrate each type, while vocabulary terms enhance understanding. The lesson objectives aim to help students classify rocks and understand Earth's materials and changes. Engaging resources and visuals are included for a rich learning experience.

  1. Rocks and Minerals Rachael Cooper

  2. Essential Question: • What are Rocks and Minerals?

  3. Today’s Vocabulary • Mineral • Rock • Igneous Rock • Sediment • Sedimentary Rock • Metamorphic Rock

  4. Minerals • Solid, nonliving substances found in nature • Come in different colors

  5. What Are Rocks? • Nonliving materials made of minerals • Are classified by how they are formed

  6. Igneous Rocks • Forms when melted rocks cool and harden • Happens slowly • An example is granite

  7. What is Sediment? • Tiny bits of weathered rock • Or once-living animals or plants • Layers of sediment form rocks

  8. Sedimentary Rocks • Forms from layers of sediment • Happens at the bottom of rivers, lakes, or oceans • Examples: sandstone, shale, and limestone

  9. Metamorphic Rock • Rock that has been changed • Formed by heating and squeezing • Examples: gneiss, slate, and phyllite

  11. Lesson Objectives: • Earth’s Materials and Changes • 3-3 The student will demonstrate an understanding of Earth’s composition and the • changes that occur to the features of Earth’s surface. • 3-3.1 Classify rocks (including igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic) and soils (including humus, clay, sand, and silt) on the basis of their properties.
