Identifying rocks when you're out and about

 If you are out for a walk and see some rocks, do you wonder what they are? Here are some questions to ask yourself, 'Questions for any rock face 4: rock group (sedimentary or igneous): what questions about the type of rock might be asked at any rock exposure?'

This field activity helps people to ask questions to help distinguish between sedimentary and igneous rocks. There are many Earthlearningideas about asking questions when looking at rocks. They can be found in 'Fieldwork' in our Investigating the Earth category.
