Help your students build real understanding of igneous rock formation through ninety questions that move from basic recognition to genuine reasoning about how the Earth works.
Sample questions include "What do you call the visible crystals in igneous rocks?", "Which rock is known for being very light and porous due to trapped gas bubbles?", and "What is the main factor that determines crystal size in igneous rocks?"
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 Earth's Solid Materials, The Rock Cycle, 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.
