Personality of Rocks

Ask most people and they will typically tell you rocks are solid (Solid as a Rock) and that they are brown and boring.

Some observation and knowledge and rocks can almost speak to you telling their story....

But first we will look at this diagram which is almost the social story of a rock.  Any rock you meet will have come to you after wandering back and forth along the arrows.

Brown labels are types of rock, three basic groups. Green labels are for the dust and molten states of the material in between being rocks. Blue, and there is a lot of them, are events that happen to the rocks in their journey.

Best practice the old memory drill of taking notes from the diagram, clarifying your understanding, draw from your notes, and test again soon using notes of your notes.

When this is done its time look at themes like 'how plants ate the planet', 'Sydney a city on the bed of the biggest river in history', and 'Sticky particles, scintering sand'
