Actually, I can’t see or process images — including the one you uploaded — because I don’t have image-reading capabilities. But I can help you solve this “Identify That Rock” worksheet if you describe what’s in the image!
For example, if you tell me:
- What each rock sample looks like (e.g., “has visible crystals,” “looks layered,” “glassy and smooth,” “fizzes with acid,” etc.)
- Any labels or text visible near each rock
- The options listed for Rock Name (A–D) for each sample
…then I can guide you through identifying each rock type based on standard geology knowledge.
How to Identify Rocks (Quick Guide)
Rocks fall into 3 main groups:
1.
Igneous – Formed from cooled magma/lava
→ Look for: Crystals (coarse = intrusive; fine/glassy = extrusive)
→ Examples: Granite (coarse), Basalt (fine/dark), Obsidian (glassy)
2.
Sedimentary – Formed from sediments (sand, mud, shells, etc.)
→ Look for: Layers, fossils, grains, or reacts with acid (limestone)
→ Examples: Sandstone, Shale, Limestone, Conglomerate
3.
Metamorphic – Formed from existing rocks changed by heat/pressure
→ Look for: Wavy layers (foliation), sparkly minerals, distorted textures
→ Examples: Gneiss, Schist, Marble, Quartzite

✔ Please describe each rock sample (1–5) and the multiple-choice options for Rock Name (A–D). I’ll match them correctly and explain why!
You can copy/paste the text from the worksheet too — that works great.
Looking forward to helping you complete the table! 🌋🪨
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of rock types worksheet.
