Classifying Sedimentary, Metamorphic and Igneous Rocks Lab Purpose: This lab is designed to help students understand the processes that form igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. Using the charts, students will be able to identify rocks by their physical characteristics. Materials: o Rock samples o Magnifying lens o Student worksheet and guide Procedure: 1. Working with a partner and using the magnifying lens, examine rock samples and fill-in the rock data chart. 2. Compare the rock to the identifying characteristics shown in Table 1 below. Table 1: Characteristics of Rock Types Rock Type Formed by Some Identifying Characteristics Surface can be sooth as glass. OR Igneous Sedimentary Metamorphic Cooling of magma Tiny rock pieces cementing together High heat and/or high pressure of the earth Individual crystals can be large enough to be seen by the human eye. If crystals are visible, they often appear to interlock, like pieces of a puzzle. Can contain fossils. Can sometimes see of feel individual sediments such as sand or pebbles. Can be more crumbly than other rock types. Can sometimes feel lighter than other rock types. Often see different bands of color sandwiched together. Crystals can be very small and hard to see. 27
