This resource turns earth's solid materials into a complete, ready to use review for Grade 6-8 earth science, covering the same NGSS standard from three different angles.
Students will answer questions such as "Which rock type is formed from existing rocks undergoing heat and pressure?", "What is the term for how light interacts with a mineral's surface?", and "Which mineral is characterized by a metallic luster?"
Each worksheet reviews the same core ideas from a different angle. Use them across a week or unit so students see the material three times without it ever feeling repetitive.
This set is part of a NGSS aligned earth science unit. The unit also covers The Rock Cycle, Igneous Rock Formation, Sedimentary Rock Formation, Metamorphic Rock Formation, Weathering and Erosion, and Plate Tectonics and Rock, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.
Suitable for Grade 6-8 earth science classes, and for review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to NGSS standard MS-ESS2-1.
