'Rockery 1' - rock game

The new Earthlearningidea is 'Rockery 1 - rock game'. The pupils are divided into groups and asked to model the different characteristics of the three main rock groups. This can be a game as the first group to get into the correct position for the rock group or rock mentioned gets one point. This ELI is not only great fun but also helps pupils to remember the fundamental differences between rock types.
There are lots of other activities about rock types on the website.
