There are three types of rocks
Starts from magma,
then cools and hardens
The quicker it hardens
the lighter the rock
Igneous
Examples:
Pumice, granite, obsidian
Once melted then
cooled down
There are three types of rocks
Formed over millions of years
Examples: sandstone,
shale, limestone
Sedimentary
Found near
bodies of water
layers
There are three types of rocks
Formed over
Millions of
years
Metamorphic
Examples: Granite,
Marble, Amethyst,
Heat and pressure
applied to
sedimentary, igneous
or other metamorphic
rocks

The Rock Cycle
Time for some action
• The Rock Cycle (click science, the rock
cycle)
• Volcanoes (click science, volcano)
The Rock Rap
Igneous rocks are heated and cooled,
Sedimentary rocks are layered in a pool.
Turn on the pressure,
Turn up the heat,
Metamorphic rocks just can’t be beat.
The Math Connection
• You and a friend go on a rock hunt. You
find 15 sedimentary rocks near a creek.
Your friend finds 17 rocks. How many tens
do you have altogether?
• Write the total number of rocks you and
your friend collected in expanded form.
• About how many rocks were collected?
Yes, there’s more math…
• As you have learned, pumice is the only
rock that can float. You really want a piece
for your rock collection and buy one from
Diamond Dell for $1.05. You also buy
another igneous rock, obsidian, for your
collection. You paid $1.50. You have
$2.60 in your wallet. Do you have enough
money? If so, how much change will you
receive?
