Cement your younger students’ understanding of how rocks are formed with this poster and game

Use this infographic poster, fact sheet and game with your 11–14 students. Together they will help younger learners understand the processes involved in the rock cycle and appreciate there is no set route around the cycle. The poster and fact sheet describe the processes, such as weathering, and the types of rock, for example sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous. The fact sheet also includes contexts, including stalactites and stalagmites.
