Rocks and Minerals Task Cards

One of the most versatile materials that we could have in our classrooms are task cards! If there is a topic we’re introducing, there’s a set of task cards to help. If students need additional practice or review with a skill, there’s a set of task cards to help. The reason task cards are so great is because we can utilize them in a variety of ways.

This is a set of Rocks and Minerals Task Cards. These cards are great for your upper elementary students in 4th and 5th grade. They may also be useful and beneficial for your 6th – 7th grade students.  

There are 35 cards included. They are printed 4 per page. Cards #31 – 35 are blank and gives you a chance to write additional problems. You will also receive recording sheets, so students have space to write their answers.

Once you have completed an in-depth study on rocks and minerals, students will love using these task cards!

They can be implemented in a variety of ways:

--Independent work. Students can grab these task cards as an early finisher activity.

--Small group. Students can work in partners or small groups to discuss and determine the answers.

--Homework. You can print a copy of the task cards for students to take home to complete for additional practice.

Answer keys are included.

I hope you enjoy!
