__ Rock Poster Project __

Choose one of the poster choices below to research and make a poster. Use your laptop and any reading text to do research.

__**Research:**__ do NOT copy the text. You must paraphrase what you read. If you do not understand what you are reading do not use that information on your poster. Use only information you understand.

For the poster, you must **take notes** in your orange science journal. After completing your research you must complete a **"rough draft"** of your poster. On a blank piece of paper, draw out a basic idea of what your poster will look like. On the "rough draft" do not include details as that would not be a good use of your time. The "rough draft" will give you a plan to follow to make your detailed poster.

__ Project Choices __ 1) **Research the three types of rocks-igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.** Make a poster showing each type of rock. Your poster must include a section for each type of rock. Explain how each rock is formed and give 5 examples of each rock with a picture of that rock.
