    1. Igneous rocks are made when the magma goes to earth's surface or stays down in the volcano and cool down and crystallizes.Magma needs to get rid of heat to form Igneous rocks.It might take thousands of years for magma to cool down and make Igneous rocks. Magma moves to cooler regions of the earth to crystallizes into igneous rocks. Magma combines with eight common elements to make an igneous rocks.

    2. There are several different kinds of igneous rocks. one example of igneous rocks is basalt. basalt is an extrusive igneous rocks. Another example for igneous rocks is a glassy looking rock. The last example quartz. quartz is a shiny looking rock that looks like a crystal.

    3. There are many different ways humans use igneous rocks. One way is putting them in cleaning' supplies. Another way is buy building houses and bridges. More things they are used in is sidewalk,schools,and office buildings. As you can see there are many different uses for igneous rocks.

    Self Reflection:
    The thing i learned about igneous rocks is when the lava burst out of volcano the magma needs to cool to make igneous rocks.I enjoyed this project so much because now i no about igneous rocks and how they are made.It was easier to work in groups because they would help me with stuff i got stuck on.I really liked my group krystal my friend she helped me so much, and joesph my other friend in my group he was a good partner and helped me a lot.I am very happy because i no i am going to get a good grade all because of my group.I'm SO HAPPY WITH THE GROUP I GOT!

    1. Igneous rocks are made when the magma goes to earth's surface or stays down in the volcano and cool down and crystallizes and form an igneous rock. Magma needs to get rid of heat to form igneous rocks. It might take thousands of years for magma to cool down and make igneous rocks. Magma moves to cooler regions of the earth to crystallize into igneous rocks. Magma combines with eight common elements to make an igneous rock. That’s how igneous rocks are made.

    2. There are several different kinds of igneous rocks. One example of igneous rocks is basalt. Basalt is an extrusive igneous rock. Another example is obsidian. Obsidian is a glassy looking rock. The last example we are going to tell you about is quartz. Quartz is a rock that looks like crystals. People get mistaken when they think quartz is a crystal but they are really igneous rocks. Those are all the examples were going to tell you.

    3. There are many different ways humans use igneous rocks. One way is putting them in cleaning supplies. Another way is buy building houses and bridges. More things they are used in are sidewalks, schools, and office buildings. As you can see there are many different uses for igneous rocks.

    Before I did this project I didn't know igneous rocks were used by humans so much. I think this project was fun. It was kind of easy. Working in groups was easier than working by my self. Working with Alyssa and Joseph was fun! I think igneous rocks are really interesting. That’s my self reflection.

    1.when igneous rock is formed its cool magma.earth was even igneous rock.when earth was a big ball of magma then cooled then turned in to igneous rock

    2.there is all kinds of igneous rock like basalt and quartz which are pretty rocks.if it has eye it could see the rise and fall of dinosaurs and the rise of earth.one igneous rock that looks like gold is mica

    3.one way we use igneous rock is sidewalk bridges building and homes.others are soap and cleansers.some have pumice which helps scrub dirt.

    Self Reflection:
    I think igneous rock is older than us all.I like working alone because I can write what I want.
