| Rocks | the solid mineral material forming part of the surface of the earth and other similar planets, exposed on the surface or underlying the soil or oceans. |
| Rock Cycle | The never ending cycle of the formation of rocks |
| Metamorphic | A type of rock that is formed under heat and pressure |
| Foliated | A type of metamorphic rock that has a smooth texture |
| Gneiss | A type of foliated metamorphic rock that has lines in it |
| Schist | A type of foliated metamorphic rock that is brown and has a smooth surface. |

| Marble | A type of non-foliated metamorphic rock that is creamy white and has wavy lines. The one Mrs. H has has a cross on it. |
| Sedimentary | A type of rock that is created by the composition and cementation of sediments |
| Clastic | A type of sedimentary rock where the rocks are organic bits of minerals and glued together |
| Sandstone | A type of clastic sedimentary rock that is reddish orange with lines through it. |

| Igneous | A type of rock that is formed from the cooling of magma and has two types, extrusive and intrusive. |
| Extrusive | A type of igneous rock that is formed by magma cooling very quickly |
| Obsidian | A type of extrusive igneous rock that is black, has a glossy texture, and has ZERO crystals as a result of cooling too quickly. |

| Scoria | A type of extrusive igneous rock that |
| Geode | A type of chemical sedimentary rock that is ugly on the outside but has a beautiful inside composed of crystals. Much like the ugly duckling. |
| Basalt | A type of extrusive igneous rock that is hole filled (vesicular) and black. It is formed at the bottom of the ocean. |
| Intrusive | A type of igneous rock that is formed very slowly and has crystals |
| Granite | A type of intrusive igneous rock that has a phorphyritic texture with different sized crystals. |
| Minerals | Naturally occurring inorganic solid with an orderly crystalline structure and a definite chemical composition |
| Silicates | Most common mineral group on Earth that has a silicon- oxygen combine to form a structure called silicon- oxygen tetrahedron. |
