In the classroom, students use rocks everyday. Graphite, a metamorphic rock, is the part of the pencil used for writing.Slate, another metamorphic rock, was used to make blackboards in years past.Now most blackboards are constructed of man-made materials. Chalk is a soft form of limestone which is a sedimentary rock.
Below is a selected list of commonly used metallic and nonmetallic minerals, ore minerals, mineral byproducts, aggregates, and rock types that are used to make products we use in our daily life.  1 Concrete is an important material that is used in the foundations of houses and in sidewalks. 2  Concrete is made of aggregate, sand, and limestone. 3  Bricks are widely used for building and for decoration. 4  They are made from clay and shale. 5  Different colored clay is used to make different colored bricks. The rocks and minerals that form within the Earth are used to make many important materials. Witness how rocks are mined, processed, and then constructed into glass, cement, bricks, houses, roads, and other objects used in our everyday lives. I need to find out three uses of igneous rocks in everyday life and explain there properties that enable them to carry there role. I dont know what to do!!! Plese help!!!!

The rocks and minerals that form within the Earth are used to make many important materials. Witness how rocks are mined, processed, and then constructed into glass, cement, bricks, houses, roads, and other objects used in our everyday lives. 1 For example, Granite is a rock made of the minerals: quartz, mica, and other minerals. 2  Students will know that rocks and minerals are found in the earth's crust. 3  Students will realize that rocks and minerals are used to produce many important materials.

Rocks are used all around us in many different ways. In the classroom, students use rocks everyday. Graphite, a metamorphic rock, is the part of the pencil used for writing. Slate, another metamorphic rock, was used to make blackboards in years past. Now most blackboards are constructed of man-made materials. Chalk is a soft form of limestone which is a sedimentary rock.  The most abundant metal element in Earth's crust. Aluminum originates as an oxide called alumina. Bauxite ore is the main source of aluminum and must be imported from Jamaica, Guinea, Brazil, Guyana, etc. Used in transportation (automobiles), packaging, building/construction, electrical, machinery and other uses. A native element; antimony metal is extracted from stibnite ore and other minerals. Used as a hardening alloy for lead, especially storage batteries and cable sheaths; also used in bearing metal, type metal, solder, collapsible tubes and foil, sheet and pipes and semiconductor technology. It is widely used for architectural construction, ornamental stone and monuments. PUMICE: An igneous-volcanic rock, it is a porous, brittle variety of rhyolite and is light enough to float. It is formed when magma of granite composition erupts at the earths surface or intrudes the crust at shallow depths. It is used as an abrasive material in hand soaps, emery boards, etc.  Click on each shelf cubby to get a closer look. We use things made from rocks and minerals every day. It is estimated that every person in the United States will use more than three million pounds of rocks, minerals and metals during their lifetime. The items in this case are just a few of the ways that we use rocks and minerals in our everyday lives. Photography and text by Edward Davis and web development by Keith Hamm.
