Mohs Hardness Scale 1. nq.uiry Skill Practice-Classify Use the Mohs hardness scale to classify the following minerals by writing the approximate hardness number for each. Fayalite can scratch orthoclase but not topaz. Amber can scratch talc but not calcite. Pectolite can scratch fluorite but not orthoclase. 2. Use Vocabulary 3.

Underline the main idea. List at least two details about the main idea. Pat had to classify minerals for her science project. Pat used containers to store the minerals according to their properties. She used a shoe box to store the minerals that scored 5 or less on the Mohs hardness scale. Pat used an egg carton to store the minerals that had a waxy luster. For those minerals that had a blue streak, Pat used a small plastic box. S a mineral luster hardness streak Use with pages (page 1 of 2) Reading Support and Homework 2D 6

9 Draw Conclusions 1. What properties did you use to classify the rocks? 2. nquiry Skill-Classify Scientific Thinking Scientists classify objects to make them easier to study. One way scientists classify rocks is by how they form. Choose one of the rocks, and describe how it might have formed. You can classify the same objects by different properties. Rocks, for example, can be classified by color, by texture, or by how they formed. A certain type of rock may fall into two or more different categories, depending on how you classify it. nvestigate Self-Assessment Agree Not Sure Disagree followed the directions for this investigation. followed safety rules when using the vinegar. recorded the properties of each rock sample and then classified the rocks into two groups.

10 10 Name Date Review Text pages Science 1-2. Place the steps for the formation of a sedimentary rock in order. A. Sediments are deposited. B. Water, wind and ice break up rocks into sediments. C. Tiny mineral crystals form that cement sediments together. D. Layers of sediments squeeze together until they harden. Answer the following questions with complete sentences. 3. What is a natural solid made of one or more minerals? 4. Why do igneous rocks that form underground have large crystals? 5. What is the difference between igneous and sedimentary rocks? 6. Describe a time when you have seen deposition.
11 Date Lesson 2.. How Do Rocks Form? 1. look at the pictures. Write a summary about each that will help in its classification. What can you conclude? A B 2.~ Match the clue on the left with the term on the right. Write the letter in the blank. rock that is changed from one form to another by high heat and great pressure rock formed when melted rock cools and hardens A. igneous rock B. sedimentary rock rock formed by compacted and cemented particles C. metamorphic rock 3. Read the selection. dentify cause and effect in the description of how sedimentary rock forms. t takes many years for sedimentary rock to form. The process starts when rocks break down to form small pieces of rock. Wind and water carry the pieces away. The pieces, called sediment, settle in places like lakes, rivers, and oceans. Over the years, more pieces settle, and layers of sediment form. n time, the layers change into solid rock. Use with pages (page 1 of 2) Reading Support and Homework lbb 11

One way fossils form is when ocean animals die, their shells, teeth, and bones drop to the ocean floor. Those pieces become part of the sediment layer. t is not common to find fossils in igneous rock. Why? ma::n Reading Support and Homework (page 1 of 2) Use with pages

Use Vocabulary Write a complete sentence that uses the word weathering correctly. 3. Reading Skill Practice-Seq,uencing Put the following changes to rocks in the correct sequence. Number the events 1 to 3. Sediment is cemented into a sedimentary rock. Small pieces are weathered from a metamorphic rock. Sediment is deposited in a different place.

The sediment is deposited and cemented, forming a G rock. The rock is squeezed, and the pressure causes it to heat up. t changes into a 4]) rock. The rock melts. The melted rock hardens and becomes an e rock. 5. Critical Thinking and Problem Solving Suppose you are digging a hole in the ground. You notice that the soil is in two layers. Each layer has particles of different sizes. You observe the soil closely and find that the bottom layer is made up mostly of sand and the top layer is made up mostly of clay.
