This document provides a lesson about sedimentary rocks. It begins with a quiz to assess prior knowledge about sedimentary rocks. The lesson then explains that sedimentary rocks are formed from pieces of eroded earth that are pushed together by water and wind near bodies of water. Examples of sedimentary rocks include conglomerate, sandstone, siltstone, shale, and limestone. Specific uses of each rock type are also outlined.

1. WELCOME TO OUR LESSONABOUT...SEDIMENTARY ROCKS!

2. QUIZ!Let's start with a quiz to see what you guys already know.

3. 1. Where are Sedimentary rocks formed?2. How are Sedimentary rocks formed?3. Is Limestone a Sedimentary rock?4. What does erode mean?5. Do Sedimentary rocks have layers?6. Where are they found?QUESTIONS

4. LESSON TIME!Now that we’re done with that littlequiz, let’s move on to the lesson.

5. Sedimentary rocks are formed when pieces of theearth get eroded (broken down) into tiny pieces bywind and water, and those pieces get pushed together on the grounds of water sources. They are also found by water sources.How are they formed?

6. Here are some examples of sedimentary rocks.Examples

7. Conglomerate is made up of rounded pebbles cemented together.Conglomerate

8. SandstoneSandstone is sand grains cemented together.

9. SiltstoneSiltstone is made from silt particles cemented together.

10. Shaleis made from silt particles cemented together. It is similar to siltstone but with even finer grain size.Shale

11. Limestone is made primarily of calcium carbonate or calcite. Limestone

12. Here are some uses of these rocksUses

13. It is used in construction and also polished to make ornaments. Conglomerate

14. It is used in the construction of buildings and monuments. You can use sandstone in concrete and tiles. Sandstone

15. Siltstone is of very little use other than a contributor to soil. Siltstone can also be used in sculptures and buildings.Siltstone

16. Shale is used, along with other rock minerals, in themanufacture of brick.Shale

17. Used as counter tops and flooring. It is also used to make paper white.Limestone
