Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

A teacher is videotaped while lecturing to his class regarding the three different types of rocks found on Earth's surface. The focus of the lecture is how to determine what kind of rock you may have picked up in your backyard, in the mountains, or on the beach. This is an interesting, informative video.
