I wrote this to help teach the 3 types of rocks to my elementary science classes- igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary! (lyrics below)

LYRICS

Igneous,

Metamorphic,

Sedimentary...

Theres 3 types of rocks, and thats all 3!

Say 3 types of rocks, and thats all 3!

Igneous,

Metamorphic,

Sedimentary...

Theres 3 types of rocks, and thats all 3!

RAP

If you never met-a,

Metamorphic rock,

You cant be blamed,

Always changing over time,

Never stays the same...

Ingenious how magma flows,

And puddles up in pools,

Igneous the rock is made,

When molten magma cools...

I thought Id never say it,

But I guess its meant to be,

Layered rock on other rocks,

Make sedimentary...

Lesson:

Igneous rocks are formed when the magma from a volcano cools-

Sedimentary rocks form when eroded earth and other materials settle in layers. These layers press down over time to form solid rock.

Metamorphic rocks are igneous or sedimentary rocks that have been changed by high temperatures or extreme pressure.

Well theres three types of rocks,

In geology,

Three types in geology...

IGNEOUS, METAMORPHIC, AND SEDIMENTARY!

Well theres three types of rocks,

In geology,

Three types in geology...
