Testing Rocks
A results table for testing rocks: does water soak in, can a coin scratch it, does it float, can you see grains?
A recording sheet for comparing rocks by their properties. A row per rock (granite, chalk, sandstone, slate, marble, pumice and more) with a box to draw what it looks like, and a column per test with a small picture in its heading: does water soak in, can a coin scratch it, does it float, can you see grains or crystals. The class writes a tick or a cross in each box. Add a row to predict first, and leave the tests open for a different investigation.
