Mystery Rock Game
Directions: Choose a number. Follow the steps on each number. Identify what type of rock it is on the space provided.
1. I am an intrusive igneous rock. I get extreme heat and pressure and melt. A volcano erupts and now I am on top
of a mountain. I cool. What kind of rock am I?_______________________
2. I am an intrusive igneous rock. I get extreme heat and pressure and melt. The magma moves me into a spot
under the earth where I cool. What kind of rock am I?_______________________
3. I am a sedimentary rock. I get worn down by weather and erosion. I am then cemented together. What kind of
rock am I?_______________________
4. I am an intrusive igneous rock. I get pushed into the earth and feel a lot of heat and pressure but I do not melt.
What am I?__________________________
5. I am an extrusive igneous rock. I get extreme heat and pressure and melt. A volcano erupts and now I am on
top of a mountain. I cool. What kind of rock am I?_______________________

Mineral Vs. Rock
(Center 3)
This is a mixture of minerals.
This is made up of only 1 substance.
Example15: Schist
This item usually has crystals but they
may be hard to see.
Example 10: Limestone
Example 3. Gypsum
Example 1: Obsidian
Example 11. Magnetite
Example 2: Granite
Example 5. Pyrite
Example 8: Sandstone
Example 9. Pyrolusite
Example16: Pumice
Example7. Graphite
Example14: Gniess

Rock Identification
(Center 4)
Sedimentary Rocks may:
Have rounded-appearing mineral and
rock particles that are cemented
together.
Layers.
Feel grainy.
Have fossils in them.
Igneous Rocks:
Are made from magma
May be seen with or without observable
crystals.
Will not have layers.
May or may not have air holes.
May be glass like.
May be light weight.
Metamorphic Rocks:
Usually contain mineral crystals,
Are often in layers.
Are hardened by heat and pressure.

Rocks
Sedimentary rocks are fun to share.
Sandstone and Limestone make a good pair.
Conglomerate and Shale must not be left out.
Grainy, layered rocks are fun to shout about.
Rocks may get hot and melt into magma.
Magma may cool - an igneous rock you now have-a.
Diorite and Granite underground may hide.
While Basalt, Obsidian, and Pumice cool outside.
Metamorphic rocks were created from heat and pressure.
These may be layered, fun to see, and measure.
Quartzite, Marble, Gneiss, and Schist.
Make our rock collection hard to resist..
Now I've shared are rock types and samples too.
Someday I'll repeat them again to you.
But now its time for this poem to end.
Unless you want me to say it all over again.
