This document provides a lesson on rocks for 5th grade students. It explains that rocks are made up of minerals and form through various natural processes like compression of sediments. Rocks are useful to humans in many ways, such as providing soil and building materials. Sedimentary rocks specifically form from sediments deposited underwater that become compressed into rock layers over time.
