Lesson: Types of Rock Chemistry

Start Practising

In this lesson, we will learn how to identify igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks and describe their composition and physical properties.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

  • define igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks,
  • describe the key steps in the production of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks,
  • identify and compare the physical properties of rock types, such as hardness, density, and appearance,
  • name common examples of rock types,
  • identify rock types from their qualitative physical properties.
