  9. mineral

  10. #5 What do we call the remains of a living thing that died long ago? rock fossil A: B: mineral cast C: D:

  11. fossil

  12. #6 A naturally formed solid made of one or more minerals rock mineral A: B: diamond wood C: D:

  13. rock

  14. #7 What do you call the color of the powder left behind When a mineral is rubbed against a white tile? streak rock A: B: quartz hematite C: D:

  15. streak

  16. #8 What properties are used to identify a mineral? Shape and streak Color streak and hardness A: B: Color, shape, hardness Size and streak C: D:

  17. Color, streak and hardness

  18. #9 What are the 3 layers of Earth? Crust mantle core Inner, mantle, outer A: B: Center, middle, outer Core, mineral, outer C: D:

  19. Core, mantle, crust

  20. #10 What type of rock is formed by volcanoes? sandstone sedimentary A: B: metamorphic igneous C: D:

  21. igneous

  22. #11 How rocks change from one type to another is called the ________________________. How sediments change Igneous rock A: B: Rock cycle Types of soil C: D:

  23. Rock cycle

  24. #12 What can scientists infer by finding a fish fossil high in the mountains? The kind of food it ate That the sea once covered the area A: B: What ate this animal What animals are like today C: D:

  25. That a sea once covered the area

  26. #13 Which of the following is not a mineral. diamond granite A: B: quartz gold C: D:

  27. granite

  28. #14 Why are plant fossils not as common as animal fossils? Plants don’t have teeth Plants are smaller than animals A: B: There were more animals than plants The soft parts of plants are easily destroyed C: D:

  29. The soft parts of plants are easily destroyed

  30. #15 What is formed when mud or minerals fill a mold? cast fossil A: B: rock wood C: D:

  31. cast

  32. #16 How can you make a mold and cast model? A: B: C: D:

  33. Make an impression in clay to make the mold and fill it with glue to form a cast.

  34. #17 Why are most fossils found in sedimentary rock? A: B: C: D:

  35. Most form in sedimentary rock because the remains are sometimes buried in the particles that form sedimentary rock.

  36. #18 If igneous rock was kept in our room for six months would it change into a metamorphic rock? Why or why not? A: B: C: D:

  37. No because in order for igneous rock to change into metamorphic rock you need great heat and pressure and it takes a long time for this to happen

  38. Great Job!!!! Thank you for playing!
