Earth rocks and space rocks
In this activity, pupils will consider some properties of different rocks. They will also learn about classifying, or sorting things into groups to help them identify which rock is which. They can then take a closer look at the meteorites, tektite and ammonite in their sample boxes. There are two versions of the worksheets – one with suggested description words, and one without to allow for differentiation.
