Metamorphic Rocks
In this metamorphic rocks worksheet, students determine the relationship between rock temperature and depth beneath the surface. Then they identify which metamorphic rock forms at the highest temperature. Students also determine how far...

Metamorphic Rocks
In this metamorphic rocks worksheet, students name the components that change in size and shape when metamorphic rocks are formed. Then they describe the metamorphic rock formed from shale and its texture. Students also name the rocks...

Edible Rock Layers
Students use edible food items to conduct an experiment that simulates the movement, folding, and faulting of rock strata like sandstone, siltstone, limestone, and shale. Students then get to eat the experiment when completed.
Curated OER
Making Sedimentary Rocks
Students make models of sedimentary rock layers to explain how rocks form layers and represent ancient environments. Layers of sediment and fossils are added together to simulate the environment and connections to sedimentary rocks are...
