This lesson will present how to identify and classify sedimentary rocks. It is 1 of 3 in the series titled "Geology: Sedimentary Rocks."

The Franklin Institute describes the way sedimentary rock is formed, with links to descriptions of several types of sedimentary rocks.

In this activity, students learn how sedimentary rocks form by making three different types.

What do sequences of sedimentary rocks tell us about how sea level has changed? Young scholars will use a tube and bead (or ball) model to visualize and predict how changes in sea level can control the lateral and vertical facies...

This activity introduces students to the concept of sorting materials in different mediums and the sedimentary feature called graded bedding. Students will discover that water is a good medium to separate and sort particles and that...

Game through which students order layers of sedimentary rock, from oldest to newest, based on the type of fossils they contain.

A well-designed lesson on rocks where students first learn about how the three categories of rocks form (sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic), then must examine the features of different rock samples, and determine which category each...

Earth Really Rocks is a teaching unit for Grades K-3. It approaches the study of rocks from an energy perspective, looking at how gas and oil are formed underground, as well as at sedimentary rocks and the structure of the Earth's crust....
