Talk About Properties of Rocks

In this Talk About activity, students talk about the appearance and simple physical properties of different types of rocks. They record information about a series of pictures which also appear in the Clicker Book "Properties of Rocks – Read a Book."

On the start page, click on each picture to open a recording page. Record up to three facts about each different rock – encourage students to give the name of the rock, some of its properties and characteristics, and why these make them suitable for particular uses. Listen to the recordings on the start page.

Students can read about these rocks, their properties and uses in the Clicker Book "Properties of Rocks – Read a Book." Search for rocks on LearningGrids for other resources on this topic.
