How do you know it is metamorphic? What properties can you see it has that makes it metamorphic? How do you know that the other rock is not metamorphic? What other questions may you like to ask to be 100% sure?

9. Sentence starters
I think the metamorphic rock is… I know that this rock is metamorphic because… This rock obviously has… I know the other rock is not metamorphic because… I know metamorphic rocks would have…

Explain the properties of these rocks

19. Compare the effects of regional and contact metamorphism on rock properties
What is regional metamorphism?
What are the rocks that are made this way?
Describe the properties of these rocks
What is contact metamorphism?

20. Sentence starters
Regional metamorphism is when… It is called ‘regional’ because… The pressure and temperature conditions is very… Some rocks that form this way are… These rocks are usually very… Contact metamorphism is when… It is called ‘contact’ because… The pressure and temperature conditions are… A rock that forms this way is… These rocks are usually….

21. Really stuck… sort into two types
Contact metamorphism is when magma touches surrounding rocks.
Gneiss and schists are rocks that form this way.
It is called contact because it happens on contact.
It is called regional because it happens over a huge area.
Regional metamorphism is when continents collide.
The pressure is very high and the temperature varies.
The temperatures are very high and the pressure is usually very low.
These rocks are usually crystalline and are not foliated.
They are very dense and are usually foliated. Sometimes minerals like garnet are found in them.
