Inorganic solids that are made from either one or multiple elements<br /> - What are minerals? Made up of one or more minerals<br /> - Name the 3 different categories of rocks?<br /> 1. Igneous<br /> 2. Metamorphic<br /> 3. Sedimentary <br />2. Go to http://www.rockhounds.com/rockshop/rockkey list 3 different rocks under each category that you found in question one.<br />CategoryIgneousSedimentaryMetamorphicRock1. Basalt 1. Breccia1. Gneiss2. Diabase2. Conglomerate2. Marble3. Diorite3. Limestone3. Quartzite<br />*Other Igneous rocks: Gabbio, Granite, Obsidian, Pumice, Ryolite, and Scaria*Other Sedimentary rocks: Sandstone and Shale*Other Metamorphic rocks: Schist, Serpentinite, and Slate<br />3. Go to http://www.enchantedlearning.com/usa/states/utah/ scroll down the page through and locate: <br /> -What is Utah’s state rock? Coal<br /> -What is Utah’s state mineral? Copper<br />4. Go to http://www.enchantedlearning.com/geology/rocks/glossary/indexc.shtml click on the letter C on the colored line. Scroll down and locate Utah’s State Rock:<br />- List 2 attributes:<br />1. It is a sedimentary rock<br />2. It is a fossil fuel<br />Then locate Utah’s State Mineral:<br />- Besides jewelry, what can copper be used for? Making bronze, brass, and gold alloys<br />5. Go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQUe9C40NEE, watch the clip (there might be an advertisement before the video, so just sit tight until you see the professor) make sure to pay close attention in order to answer the questions.<br />- Which category of rock does the professor call “natures form of recycling”? Sedimentary<br />- Which two categories of rocks does he call “hard rocks”? Why? Igneous and Metamorphic. Because they are more dense and compact than sedimentary rocks<br />6. Go to http://www.rocksandminerals4u.com/igneous_metamorphic_sedimentary_rock.html look over the different pictures and definitions of rocks and label each of the rocks below as; A) Igneous, B) Metamorphic, or C) Sedimentary:<br /> <br />AA BA<br /> <br />CCBC<br />7. Go to http://geology.utah.gov/surveynotes/gladasked/gladrocks.htm <br />- Define extrusive rock: rocks that form when the lava solidifies on the earths surface<br />- Define intrusive rock: formed when lava solidifies under the earths surface<br />Then, create your own rock. Illustrate your rock below and identify what category of rock does it fall under and why.<br />* This is dependent on the individual student, but I’m looking for correct attributes of the category of rock they choose.<br />8. Go to http://wordsearchfun.com/144623_Rocks_n_Minerals_wordsearch.html and print out the “Rocks n Minerals” word search that I’ve created. Once you’ve completed the word search attach it to the answers of your webquest.<br />*each time a student logs on to the crossword it rescrambles so I will be looking to make sure that each student has goten all the words.<br />9. Go to http://www.classzone.com/books/earth_science/terc/content/investigations/es0602/es0602page03.cfm. In the diagram you are able to click on the arrows that signify the processes in which each of the 3 categories of rocks are created. The key to the right of the diagram shows you which color corresponds to the rock formation process. <br />- What in the process of forming:<br />- Igneous rocks: melting and cooling<br />- Metamorphic rocks: exposure to heat and/or pressure<br />- Sedimentary rocks: uplifting to the Earths surface, weathering and erosion, transportation, deposition, and cementation<br />10. Go to http://www.learner.org/interactives/rockcycle/change.html click on “START” and watch the animation for the first process. Then, in the bottom right hand corner, click “NEXT” and watch the next animation. There are 3 pages you should look at.<br />- Examine the last two sites about the processes that create each category of rock. Which one was your favorite? Why? What were the benefits of one versus the other?<br />*I would assume that kids would like #10 because it is more interactive and has animation instead of just a list. But depending on how each student learns their answers will vary. I would just look for an explaination of their answer. <br />
