This project and its actions were made possible due to co-financing by the European Fund for the Integration of Third-Country Nationals EAL Nexus resource Rocks Substitution tables Subject: Science/ Geography Age groups: 8 – 11, 12 – 14, Topic: Types and properties of rocks Licence information | This resource is free to use for educational purposes. ©British Council 2014 Source | This resource was originally developed by Charlotte Hurley and has been adapted by EAL Nexus. Describe the type of rock. Soapstone Gneiss Slate Marble Granite Basalt Gabbro Obsidian Chalk Shale Sandstone Limestone is a an sedimentary metamorphic igneous rock Describe the colour of the rock. It Soapstone Gneiss Slate Marble Granite Basalt Gabbro Obsidian Chalk Shale Sandstone Limestone is can be dark light grey black beige red orange yellow green blue purple brown and or dark light grey black beige red orange yellow green blue purple brown Describe the texture of the rock. The surface is of soapstone is gneiss is slate is marble is granite is basalt is gabbro is obsidian is chalk is shale is sandstone is limestone is rough bumpy smooth hard soft greasy waxy lumpy coarse slippery Describe the surface pattern of the rock. The surface is of soapstone is gneiss is slate is marble is granite is basalt is gabbro is obsidian is chalk is shale is sandstone is limestone is patterned stripy marbled spotty speckled swirly Describe the properties and uses of the rock. It Soapstone Gneiss Slate Marble Granite Basalt Gabbro Obsidian Chalk Shale Sandstone Limestone is can be waterproof porous heavy light easy to carve sharp heat resistant easy to cut easy to polish soft hard tough brittle split into thin sheets so it is used for in to make jewellery carved objects lining fireplaces buildings building roads wall filler cement paving sharpening tools tiles roof tiles bricks toothpaste fingerprint powder blackboard chalk knives sharp tools jewellery decoration kitchen worktops cobbles statues sculptures paving chopping boards grave stones Describe how the rock is formed. Soapstone Gneiss Slate Marble Granite Basalt Gabbro Obsidian Chalk Shale Sandstone Limestone is can be formed made by from when made of the shells and skeletons of sea animals sand-sized minerals or rock grains very fine rounded grains of sediment that have compacted together the shells of one type of sea creature when molten rock cools quickly compressed oceanic crust the rapid cooling of lava near the surface of a planet or moon when molten rock from a volcano is cooled down and forms large interlocking crystals limestone that has been heated to change it into marble mudstones called shale are changed by heat and pressure sedimentary and igneous rocks are exposed to extreme temperatures and pressure Describe the lustre of a rock. Soapstone Gneiss Slate Marble Granite Basalt Gabbro Obsidian Chalk Shale Sandstone Limestone is earthy/ dull greasy metallic pearly resinous silky vitreous waxy
