This resource includes a highly visual 34-slide PowerPoint presentation, scaffolded notes for pupils, and a worksheet.
In this resource, pupils will learn...
1) to compare and group together different kinds of rocks on the basis of their appearance and simple physical properties
2) to recognise that soils are made from rocks and organic matter
3) the rock cycle and the formation of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks
4) to understand how cooling and solidifying of magma results in formation of igneous rocks.
5) to understand that sedimentary rocks are made by processes which include the deposition of rock fragments or organic material, or as a result of evaporation.
6) to understand how rock fragments are transported by flowing water or wind, and how grain size affects transport and settling of sediment; understand how landscape can be eroded.
7) to understand that metamorphic rocks are formed by action of heat and pressure on existing rocks.
8) to understand the meaning of the term ‘mineral’.
9) to know how forces generated by expansion, contraction and the freezing of water can lead to the physical weathering of rocks.
10) to know the different layers of a soil profile
I hope you find this resource helpful.
