Curriculum Alignment +

Aligned to Year 3 Science — Rocks. Covers comparing and grouping together different kinds of rocks on the basis of their appearance and simple physical properties, describing in simple terms how igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks are formed, and recognising that soils are made from rocks and organic matter.

Teaching Tips +

Bring in a rock sample collection for the classification activities — charity shops and garden centres are good sources. The weathering investigation works well as a long-term observation over several weeks. Works well alongside the Fossils pack as a full geology unit.
