This is an in-depth activity where students create a rock layer formation using different colors of playdough and investigate the types of folds and rock formations that might occur. They take core samples through anticlines and...

Students test rocks to identify their physical properties (such as luster, hardness, color, etc.) and classify them as igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary. They complete a worksheet table to record all of the rock properties, and then...

This lesson takes you through the basic introduction of rocks. It includes information about the rock cycle and the three types of rocks: igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary.
