• Quiz Wiz 1-10 Name the rock.

1
Igneous Rock –
Extrusive, a light-colored,
fine-grained rock that
typically contains quartz
and feldspar minerals.

2
Sedimentary, A fine-grained
rock that forms from the
compaction of silt and clay-
size mineral particles 
“Mud”

3
Igneous Rock –
Intrusive with large
crystals. Composed
mainly of quartz and
feldspar.

4
Igneous Rock – Intrusive, Coarse-
grained, dark-colored. It is usually
black or dark green in color. It is the
most abundant rock in the deep
oceanic crust.

5
Sedimentary - Composed
primarily of calcium
carbonate – (Calcite),
forms in marine waters
and often has fossils.

• Schist.

• Schist.
7
Metamorphic –
Foliated, It often
contains
significant
amounts of mica.

8
Igneous Rock – Dark
Colored. Extrusive with
fine grain crystals.
Forms from cooled
lava.

9
Igneous Rock –
Extrusive, A light-
colored rock. It forms
through very rapid
cooling.

10
Metamorphic, Non-
foliated rock that is
produced from the
metamorphism of
limestone. It is composed
primarily of calcium
carbonate.

*11
Sedimentary, -Clastic Rock that
contains large rounded clasts.
The space between the clasts is
generally filled with small
particles that binds the rock
together.

• Answers! Quiz Wiz 1-10 Name that Rock.

*12 “It’s gneiss
being Kid-rock”

• Write down a number from 1-500 on the
note card and write your name under it.
– Teacher to collect note cards at end.

• Rock and Mineral Auction Project

• Rock and Mineral Auction Project
“The number
you wrote
down is how
much money
you have for
the auction.”

• Auction Rules
– Do not bid higher than the monopoly money that
you have.
– Raise hand and or murmur something such as
“Yuup” or “Here” or “Yah” when you want to bid.
– Do not be vocal unless you are bidding.
– Once you’ve bid, see cashier to collect rock /
mineral and pay.
– No giving away your money. You can only bid
once.
– All rocks / minerals will be passed out at the end
to all that not win a bid.
– Your rock / mineral becomes the focus of your
research and poster.

If you win a rock / mineral you get a
prize when you hand-in your money
to the auction banker.
