Rocks
In science we have learnt that there are 3 rock groups: igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary. Watch this clip for a reminder of these:

There is also another way to sort rocks - in to these 2 groups:
natural or human made
Now look carefully at these rock types:
Your task today is to look carefully around for different types of rock.
Look around your home and see if you can find some things that are made from rock - naturally occurring or human- made. Maybe you could look in your garden or local area, when you take some exercise.
Record your findings in your home learning book. Maybe draw a table like this:
| Rock hunt | ||||
| description (drawing?, colour, texture, patterns, shape ...) | Location / use (where was it found? Is it being used for something?) | Do you know its name? |
What type of rock do you think it is? natural or human nmade |
