Let’s work through this step by step.

Task 1: Match the picture to the name of the rocks
We have three pictures and three rock names:
- granite
- limestone
- sandstone
Let’s look at each picture:
🔹
First picture (left): This rock looks grainy, like tiny grains stuck together — that’s typical of
sandstone. Sandstone is made from sand particles cemented over time.
🔹
Second picture (middle): This rock has clear layers or bands. That’s a key feature of
limestone, which often forms in layers underwater and can show banding or fossil traces.
🔹
Third picture (right): This one has speckles — black, white, gray spots mixed together. That’s classic
granite, an igneous rock with visible crystals of different minerals.
So matching:
→ Left → sandstone
→ Middle → limestone
→ Right → granite

Tasks 2–4: You can see rocks _________
These are open-ended questions asking where you might find rocks in real life. Since it’s for young students (Science P2 = Primary 2), we should give simple, everyday places.
Examples:
- on the ground
- in mountains
- near rivers or seas
- in gardens
- under trees
Any of these would be correct. Let’s pick common ones:
2. You can see rocks
on the beach.
3. You can see rocks
in the mountains.
4. You can see rocks
near a river.
(You could also say “in your garden” or “underfoot” — any reasonable place works!)

Task 5: This is a _________.
The image shows a big natural arch made of rock, standing over water — likely a sea arch formed by erosion. In primary science, they usually call this simply a
“rock arch” or sometimes just
“arch”.
Since the worksheet is about rocks, and the picture clearly shows a large stone structure shaped like an arch, the best answer is:
→
rock arch
(Some curricula may accept “natural arch”, but “rock arch” is simpler and fits the level.)

✔ All answers verified and appropriate for a young student.
Final Answer:
1. Left: sandstone, Middle: limestone, Right: granite
2. on the beach
3. in the mountains
4. near a river
5. rock arch
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of rocks worksheet.
