Mrs. Antonuccio and Mrs. DeSimone's Science classes - Rocks Sept. 13 Website

Since we will be getting ready for a test soon on igneous and sedimentary rocks, I found a great way for you to begin reviewing.  Here is a website to review.  It is Geology for Kids.  It does have some advertising, but read the information and then click the arrow that says next.  It has great pictures.

THEN,  play the game,  What Rock am I?   There is a place to click on the left that says geology games.  Try to remember what you have learned about the differences between igneous and sedimentary rocks.

Have fun, and keep learning.  Look back at my blog, for more study guides.   :)
