Types of Rocks Card Sorting Activity | Google Slides™ Drag and Drop

This Digital Rock Sorting Activity (drag & drop) will give your students practice categorizing and reviewing the three types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.

The background of the Digital Sorting Activity is ‘locked’ and the only thing the students can move are the text boxes or rock images. This prevents the students from deleting anything by accident.
