You Rock!



There are three basic kinds of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.

  1. Igneous Rocks: Igneous rocks are formed when lava or magma cools down and becomes a solid.
  2. Sedimentary Rocks: Sedimentary rocks are formed when existing rock is eroded and deposited in sediments. The sediments accumulate until they are formed into new rock under pressure, heat, and chemical bonding.
  3. Metamorphic Rocks: Metamorphic rocks are formed when existing rocks are put under heat, pressure, or both. The heat and pressure causes the minerals to change their structure so that new rocks are formed. 
Have fun with this word search. You can memorize your lesson when you find all the hidden words. The clues are all types of the rocks.
Happy study!
