Help your students build real understanding of rock identification lab through ninety questions that move from basic recognition to genuine reasoning about how the Earth works.
The set includes questions like "Which process involves the breakdown of rocks into smaller particles?", "Which rock type is characterized by vesicular texture?", and "What type of rock forms from the alteration of existing rocks under heat and pressure?"
Because the three worksheets share the same content in three different formats, you can spread them across the week: one for diagnosis, one for practice, and one for assessment, without repeating a single question.
This set is part of a NGSS aligned earth science unit. The unit also covers Earth's Solid Materials, The Rock Cycle, Igneous Rock Formation, Sedimentary Rock Formation, Metamorphic Rock Formation, and Weathering and Erosion, 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.
