Investigation 1: First Rocks NJ Science Standards for Investigation 1 5.2.2.A.1 Sort and describe objects based on the materials of which they are made and their physical properties. 5.2.2.A.2 Identify common objects as solids, liquids, or gases. 5.4.2.C.1 Describe Earth materials using appropriate terms, such as hard, soft, dry, wet, heavy, and light.
Three types of Volcanic (Igneous) Rocks
In this Investigation we will sort the volcanic rocks by its' properties, using our eyes.
