Things about rocks The mohs scale 1 Talc 2 Gypsum 3 Calcite 4 Fluorite 5 Apatite 6 Orthoclase feldspar 7 Quartz 8 Topaz 9 Coruneum 10 Diamond • A rock must be non living, Must occur in nature, Must be made of one or more elements, The Earths rocks are made of minerals Minerals get bigger over time under the right condition You identify a rock by… • Color, streak, luster, density, hardness, how a mineral breaks, magnetism
How rocks are formed • Special form • Builds off other minerals • Volcanic eruptions • Tons of pressure • Lava cools and hardens
The Wolf Spiders Have learned that Igneous rocks can form from a whole lot of pressure, volcanic eruptions, building off other minerals, and lava hardening. We had a whole lot of fun on this project. Conclusion
