My Rock Story

Rocks have been around the world for lots of years. Some rocks come from volcanoes. obsidian is an igneous rock. Igneous rocks are made of hot liquid rocks that has cooled and hardened. Liquid rock comes up onto the earth's surface through volcanoes. 

Some rocks such as granite are very hard strong. Others such as chalk are very soft and easily crumble. We can write with chalk because it wears away when pressed against a hard surface. 

Some rocks have tiny holes that water can flow through, other rocks such as slate do not let in any water. People make roof tiles out of slate because it keeps the house underneath dry. 

Each kind of mineral forms its own type of crystal and when lots of crystals lock together they make rocks. Granite is a hard speckled looking rock, each speckle is a different crystal.

My inquiry

This is my inquiry.

Rocks

Rocks are very cool. They are very hard just like a gem. And a crystals. Rocks have been around for billions of years. 

How are rocks made ? Rocks are made from sand. Sand is little pices of rock sand when volcanos erupt lava comes down. Little pices of rockfall out the volcano. 

Rocks are very strong. 

Igneous rocks are crystals. They fall into a volcano when the volcano erupts they turn into magma and then lava igneous rocks are very cool. 

Metamorphic rock is made from  sedementyry rock. Igneous rock is made from hot liquid. Sedementyry rock is made from little pices of rock and sometimes shell

All of these are important one they are very rear two they are very strong so they won't break and three they are very cool.

Fossils

Fossils.

Some fossils can be shells and rocks.

Fossils are only on  beachs and inside caves.

Fossils can be pieces of stuff like leaves.

Fossils were alive millions of years ago.

Fossils used to live in the sea and they catch a wave on to the shore.

Rock facts

Coal is hard and black,It's also some kind of mineral.It's the most common mineral,It's used all over the world for energy.Coal is mostly used to make material and steel.

A mineral is a natural solid material but it's definitely not alive. Minerals always have the same ingredients every time,like chocolate chip cookies.

When rocks melt they normally turn into magma.Rock have been around for billions years.There are over 4.dto5 billion rocks in the  world.Mountains are made of rocks and rocks are formed by layers small particles.They are together and formed into sedimentary rocks.Sedimentary rocks are the most common rocks in the world.Mountains are made because rocks crusts push up and form mountains.

Dylan's rock report

I'm going to share Igneous rocks with you.Igneous rocks formed by magma and volcanoes.Most

 igneous rocks have been around for 4.5 billion years and others have been around forever.

This is my fossil that is a dinosaur tooth.My great grandad found it on an island on the beach.Now I'm going to share fools gold with you now.

Fools gold is a type of fake gold the real name is iron pyrite.When people find this particular type of rock they would say I found gold!!! Then they would take it to a gold shop and the guy would say this is fake gold.Then he would say this is iron pyrite.He would say oh? I didn't know that. 

Some people carve rocks into statues.pumus is a type of rock it is formed by volcanoes.They can clean your feet some how.

Types of rock sedimentary rocks are: breccia,sandstone,shale,and limestone.

Types of metamorphic rock are diamond,graphite,marble,gneiss,quartzite and schist.
