30. #15 What is formed when mud or minerals fill a mold? cast fossil A: B: rock wood C: D:

31. cast

32. #16 How can you make a mold and cast model? A: B: C: D:

33. Make an impression in clay to make the mold and fill it with glue to form a cast.

34. #17 Why are most fossils found in sedimentary rock? A: B: C: D:

35. Most form in sedimentary rock because the remains are sometimes buried in the particles that form sedimentary rock.

36. #18 If igneous rock was kept in our room for six months would it change into a metamorphic rock? Why or why not? A: B: C: D:

37. No because in order for igneous rock to change into metamorphic rock you need great heat and pressure and it takes a long time for this to happen

38. Great Job!!!! Thank you for playing!
