What is one way rocks or minerals are used?
What are buildings, jewellery, or electronics?
What does "take only what you need" mean?
What is using resources responsibly and avoiding waste?
Explain how a sedimentary rock could become a metamorphic rock.
What is heat and pressure change it without melting?
Why is hardness a better way to identify a mineral than colour?
Why are fossils not usually found in igneous rock?
What is heat from lava destroys the remains?
Why do we need to mine minerals for technology like phones?
What are important minerals that we can't make ourselves?
Why is it important to think about different perspectives when deciding to build a mine?
What is different people are affected in different ways?
A rock is found deep underground and has changed due to extreme heat but has not melted. What type of rock is it and why?
What is metamorphic? Because heat and pressure changed it
A scientist is trying to identify a mineral but only looks at its colour. Why might this lead to a mistake, and what other property should they test?
A fossil of a fish is found in the desert. What does this tell us about that area long ago?
What is it was once covered by water?
What are jobs and materials, & damages the environment?
