This Year 3 Permeable and Impermeable Rocks Worksheet looks at different objects, such as concrete blocks and marble worktops, for pupils to identify why that type of rock has been selected for that use. This activity could be done independently or as part of a paired or group task. There are lots of opportunities for discussion too! A modelled answer page is included to encourage peer and self-marking opportunities. This activity follows on perfectly from our Year 3 How Can We Group Rocks? Investigation PowerPoint.
