 Which type of rock is made when layers of tiny pieces of rock are
pressed together?
 Igneous rock

SOIL 400
 Erosion is a process that
 Causes storms
 Forms rivers
 Breaks rocks into pieces
 Moves rock and soil
SOIL 500
 The soil in Georgia is red because it contains a lot of
 Iron
 Copper
 Quartz
 sediment
FOSSILS 100
 A trace or the remains of a living thing is called a
 Sediment
 Mineral
 Fossil
 remainder
FOSSILS 200
 Petrified wood is formed when an ancient tree’s soft parts were
replaced with
 Bones
 Hard minerals
 Hardened tree sap
 Large rocks and soil
FOSSILS 300
 In which type of rock are you most likely to find a fossil?
 Igneous rock
 Mineral rock
 Sedimentary rock
 Metamorphic rock
FOSSILS 400
 Many fossils form from animals that
 Died recently
 Did not have bones or shells
 Died and were covered with dirt
 Got trapped inside rocks
FOSSILS 500
 By looking carefully at fossil teeth, a scientist can learn
 How big the animal was

MAGNETS 200
 An electromagnet in a junkyard is used to lift
 Plastic or glass
 Wood
 Steel or iron
 magnets
MAGNETS 300
 Two bar magnets will attract if
 They do not have N and S poles
 The N pole of one faces the S pole of the other
 Their two N poles are facing

HEAT 100
 What happens to boiling water after you add ice cubes to it?
 Its temperature rises
 It changes to a gas
 Its temperature falls
 It bubbles
HEAT 200
 A group of campers are sitting around a campfire. How is heat energy
being produced?
 Rubbing
 Friction
 Mixing two things together
