This Year 3 What are Rocks Used For? Worksheet allows pupils to identify which rocks are suitable for different purposes. It could be helpful to have samples of rocks available for children to feel and observe. 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 What are Rocks? Teaching PowerPoint. Download now!
