Answer Sheet

Instructions:

1. Look for 5 different RARE rocks in your surroundings. Each rock should NOT look the same.
2. Take a photo of each of your rock and insert the photo in the table below on the Rock column.
3. Fill out the table by completing the other 3 columns.
a. Observable characteristics – describe the rock that you have found based on its
observable characteristics like texture, presence of other materials embedded on the
rock, presence of layers and other characteristics based on the discussion.
b. Where did you find it? – describe the place where you found the rock; description
should be relevant to the discussion.
c. Classification – Classify the rock that you have retrieved whether it is Igneous,
Sedimentary or Metamorphic Rock.
d. Processes: What are the processes does your rock underwent to form in that
classification?
4. Your output can either be encoded or handwritten. If you opt to have it handwritten, make sure
that it is readable.

Where did you find it?

Rock Observable Characteristics Classification Processes
Describe the place

1. White I found it in our lawn to be Metamorphic Marble is a

Its smooth exact its near to the tree Rocks metamorphic
Its shinny and the area have a water rock that forms
Its polish on it it’s when limestone
And the texture of it is is subjected to
GRANOBLASTIC,GRANULAR the heat and
pressure of
metamorphism.
It is composed
primarily of the
mineral calcite
(CaCO3) and
usually contains
MARBLE other minerals,

2. I observe that obsidian is a I found it on my father’s Igneous Rocks obsidian,

smooth stone such like marble room. My father said that igneous rock
but they are different this stone is from his old occurring as a
classification and obsidian friend that live in cotabato natural glass
rock have a darker color that is but his friend get this formed by the
black the rock have a such stone from KENYA rapid cooling of
wonderful shape viscous lava from
volcanoes.
Obsidian is
extremely rich in
silica (about 65
OBSIDIAN to 80 percent), is
 low in water,
and has a
chemical
composition
similar to
rhyolite.
Quartzite is a mix color stone I found it in our backyard Metamorphic a quartz-rich
does have white black yellow this stone is covered with Rocks sandstone is
and red and the texture on it water and sand altered by the
is rough and there was a crack heat, pressure,
on it but the inside of the and chemical
crack have just lok a gold activity of
metamorphism.

3.

QUARTZITE

4. Sandstone have a color brown I found it under the lots its Sedimentary
unlike the other stone is not covered with dirt Rocks Sandstone forms
hard compare to the other from beds of
stone it’s easy to break it with sand laid down
your bear hands under the sea or
in low-lying
areas on the
continents. As a
bed of sand
subsides into the
earth's crust
SANDSTONE
5. Gabbro is a stone that have a I found it into our fish Igneous Rocks
lot of hole and the color of this pond and its under water Image result for :
stone he have white black What are the
green because I found it in the processes does
water gabbro
underwent to
form in that
classification?
Gabbros are
plutonic rocks
formed by
cooling and
crystallization of
molten magma
trapped under
GABBROS the Earth's
surface and
chemically
equivalent to
extrusive basalt.
