Description
Rock Vocabulary for Young Scientists
These rock word wall flash cards give students the science words they need to talk about rocks. These rock vocabulary cards show a rock word in big letters, a clear picture and a short meaning, so students can read, see and understand the word at a glance. The set covers what rocks are made of, rock sizes from boulder down to clay, the three kinds of rock, and the ways rocks change over time.
How to Use the Word Cards
Print the 16 word cards, cut them apart and post them on your science word wall or in a pocket chart. Hold up a card, read the word together, talk about the picture and read the meaning aloud. Students can line up the size cards from biggest to smallest, sort the cards into groups, or match each card to a real rock from a class collection. The rock word wall flash cards work for a whole class lesson, a small group or a science center in 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade. A 2nd Grade practice worksheet asks students to read six sentences about rocks and circle the science word that fits each blank.
What’s Included
- Colorful cover page
- How to Use page with simple steps
- 16 rock word cards with pictures and meanings
- 2nd Grade practice worksheet
- Card list answer key
- Answer key for the practice worksheet
Why These Flash Cards Help Kids
- Seeing a word with a picture and a meaning helps science vocabulary stick.
- Rock size words like boulder, pebble, sand and silt help students describe what they observe.
- A word wall gives students a place to check spelling when they write about rocks.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Take a rock walk and find a boulder, a cobble and a pebble, use the cards as a quick review game before a rock unit test, or ask students to write a sentence that uses two of the words together.
