Student activity worksheets
National Geographic Kids "Rocks and Minerals" Level 2 book

A 30-minute DVD titled "The Rock Art of Texas" from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department
Geologists divide rocks into three large groups:
Lava or magma form "Igneous" rock
Changes in pressure or heat create "Metamorphic" rock
Water and wind create "Sedimentary" rock
Water, wind, earthquakes, cold, and heat scour, fracture, move, or melt rock. Rock is continuously being changed, rebuilt, or recycled by the forces of the Earth.
Rock reveals millions of years of events and change. Embedded fossils provide a picture of the environment at the time the rock was formed.Â
