ROCKS & MINERALS Guiding Questions
1. Can students describe the composition of rocks?
2. Can students explain how Earth’s processes have affected their neighborhood?
3. Can students identify igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks?
4. Can students identify the components of soil?
5. Can students identify the characteristics of fossils?
6. Can students explain how fossil records are used to learn about the past?
It is also very important for students to understand that ALL rocks are made from minerals and that some rocks may be composed of only one or two minerals.
