ROCKS AND MINERALS Task Cards
This download consists of 40 task cards, an answer sheet for students and an answer key for teachers. This set partners as a perfect review to Earth Science Interactive Notebook – Rocks and Minerals and covers concepts such as:
- Mineral characteristics – streak, luster, cleavage, fracture
- Mineral chemical composition
- Crystal systems
- Mohs Hardness Scale
- Formation of minerals
- gemstones, metals, ores
- Environment where minerals are formed
- Rock cycle
- Major rock groups – igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic
- Extrusion and Intrusion rocks
- Formation of Sedimentary rocks
Task cards are a great tool for concept review that can be used in a variety of ways – pairs, small groups, team games, or individually. The reason they are so effective is there is only ONE task per card, allowing students to focus on that single task until they have successfully completed it.
