Add to ORKGIn this activity students will use sample sets of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks to learn how to identify the major rock types. They will write the key characteristics that would help them identify each of the rocks on the list. They will find and copy an image of each from the "Volcano World" slide show and answer the questions at the end of this activity. As a result of this lesson students will learn how to identify major rock types through their characteristic properties, especially through the Earth Science Reference Table identification charts, and understand how to find out what types of rocks can be found in a particular area using geologic maps, especially the one in the Earth Science Reference Table.
