Sedimentary - Igneous - Metamorphic
The different types of rocks all have different features.
Sedimentary Rocks are formed when layers of sand, mud or small rocks form under the sea. Over millions of years it turns into rock.
Igneous Rocks form when magma cools under the earth or when lava erupts out of a volcano.
Metamorphic Rocks are formed in the earth when other types of rock are heated up and put under lots of pressure.

Rocks can turn into different types of rocks through the rock cycle.
Watch this Study Jam to learn what happens in the rock cycle.
This week the Year 5 and 6 students have been learning to identify different types of rocks. They used their eyes and microscopes to view different rocks.
Using the Proscope microscope to have a close look at the rocks features.
Carefully studying the rock.
