Thursday Starting Line Directions: Enter the classroom, log onto Blackboard and click on the Starting Line for today. Answer the questions below on the Google Form. You have 4 minutes to do this. 1. Inside of the surface of the Earth. 2. A dark colored igneous rock. 3. Pumice cools so quickly that pockets of air are trapped inside the rock.

Announcements Homework Check: Packet due on Monday! Mineral Lab #2 (from 9/15) Make-Up Days: Test over Rocks and Minerals on 9/29! That is next week on Thursday! Expect one lab this week and one next week with LOTS OF NOTES…but NO COMPLAINING!

Earth and Space Science Unit 2: Minerals and Rocks Daily Objective: I can describe the properties of sedimentary rocks and their uses.

Notebook Notes Directions: In your document, write the following information in this order on the LEFT SIDE. (Your Name) Mr. Swisher Earth and Space Science _____ (Period) 9/22/2016

Notebook Notes Directions: In your document, write the following information in this order in the CENTER in BOLD. 6.3: Sedimentary Rocks

Sedimentary Rocks Sedimentary Rocks: Form from small pieces of rock and mineral (sediments) that have been compressed for millions of years.

What’s this?

It’s Dryer Lint…Eww! Dryer lint is just small pieces of your clothes that come off in the dryer each time you dry them. It is not enough for you to notice on your clothes each time you dry them, but there is still evidence (lint) that it is happening!

Formation of Sedimentary Rocks Weathering and Erosion: Formation of sediments when pieces of rock and mineral break off a mountain a little bit at a time. -Like dryer lint! 2) Transportation: Rain, wind, or water will carry the sediments down the mountain.

Formation of Sedimentary Rocks 3) Deposition: Sediment settles at the bottom of an ocean, lake, or river. 4) Compaction/Cementation: Over millions of years, the sediment will be pressed together (by pressure or chemicals) to form sedimentary rocks

Types of Sedimentary Rock Chemical Sedimentary: Made from minerals that dissolve in water. Example: Limestone Organic/Biological Sedimentary: Made from the remains of plants and animals. Examples: Limestone, Coal Clastic Sedimentary: Made when preexisting rocks are cemented together. Examples: Shale, Sandstone

Indiana’s Rock: Limestone Clastic Sedimentary Rock is used in a lot of buildings, especially on Indiana University’s campus!

Book/Mini-Lab Time Directions: Using your textbook (pages 149-150) and the bottom part of the Sedimentary Rock worksheet (Page 2 of the packet), read about the different properties of sedimentary rocks and fill in the definitions. Once you complete the worksheet, you and your table partner must show it to Mr. Swisher in order to begin the lab portion of the activity today.

Worksheet Time Directions: Using your notes from today, complete the top part of the Sedimentary Rock worksheet (Page 2) by filling out each box of the chart AND answering the questions.
