• Compare and group together different kinds of rocks on the basis of their appearance and simple physical properties.
• Science, Year 3, Rocks
• Describe in simple terms how fossils are formed when things that have lived are trapped within rock.
• Science, Year 3, Rocks
• Recognise that soils are made from rocks and organic matter.
• A comprehensive collection of UK-sourced rock samples.
• This set features a diverse range of rocks including basalt, chalk, and granite, designed to support hands-on learning.
• This set of UK-sourced rock samples is a vital resource for enhancing geological study, enabling children to explore the properties and formations of 15 different rocks such as granite, limestone, and marble. Suitable for the 'Rocks' curriculum in Year 3, these practical samples facilitate a hands-on approach to learning.
• Aligned with the Science curriculum, this collection allows children to engage directly with rocks such as basalt and chalk, promoting an inquiry-based learning environment. Through handling real rock samples, students gain a tangible understanding of geological processes and the classification of rocks, fostering a deeper interest in Earth's geological phenomena.
Incorporating these samples into lessons can profoundly enrich students' comprehension of soil composition and the rock cycle. This set aids in making theoretical concepts accessible, supporting curriculum goals by enabling engaging, practical geological exploration.
