Igneous, Metamorphic, and Sedimentary Rocks
Rocks, Minerals and Soil
6th
Minerals have specific, quantifiable properties.
Igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks have unique
characteristics that can be used for identification and/or
classification.
Igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks form in
different ways.
Soil is unconsolidated material that contains nutrient matter
and weathered rock.
Rocks, minerals and soils have common and practical uses
Students apply digital tools to gather, evaluate, and use
information. a. Plan strategies to guide inquiry b. Locate,
organize, analyze, evaluate, synthesize, and ethically use
information from a variety of sources and media c. Evaluate
and select information sources and digital tools based on the
appropriateness to specific tasks d. Process data and report
results
