    The game would involve visitors identifying pictures of rocks as either intrusive or extrusive based on their physical characteristics. Players would be shown pictures of rocks like andesite and pegmatite and would need to explain in a sentence why each rock is intrusive or extrusive based on features like grain size, crystal size, and cooling history. earning points for correct answers. This interactive game could help visitors learn the distinguishing physical traits of intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks and how each type forms deep within the Earth or at the surface.

    Comparison Worksheet
    Use the following table to compare extrusive and intrusive rocks. Describe and compare each type in at least 150 words. Extrusive Rock Intrusive Rock

    Extrusive rock or igneous (produced in conditions of extreme intense heat) which form by the crystallization of magma at the surface of the Earth. These particular rocks have a fine grain texture because of the cooling process near the surface of the Earth which is very fast. So the major difference between the two types of rock is the manner in which they are formed.

    Intrusive rock or igneous (produced in conditions of extreme intense heat) formed by the crystallization of magma deep into the Earth. Intrusive rocks have the look of a rock with large crystals, all over it i.e., the appearance of a large spiked rock mass. The cooling of magma deep in the Earth is typically much slower than the cooling process at the surface, so larger crystals can grow. Rocks with visible crystals of roughly the same size will have a crystal cluster-like appearance.

    Use the following table to compare faults and folds. Describe and compare each feature in at least 150 words. Faults Folds

    Use the following table to identify extrusive and intrusive rocks with pictures. Pick at least two intrusive rocks and two extrusive rocks, and paste a picture of each rock into the Picture column. For each rock, describe the physical characteristics and write a 50- to 100-word explanation about how the characteristics prove whether it is an extrusive or intrusive rock. Picture Physical Characteristics Andesite is a finegrained, extrusive igneous rock composed mainly of plagioclase with other minerals such as hornblende, pyroxene and biotite. The specimen shown is about two inches (five centimeters) across. Pegmatite is a lightcolored, extremely coarsegrained intrusive igneous rock. It forms near the margins of a magma chamber during the final phases of magma chamber crystallization. It often contains rare Intrusive or Extrusive?

    Comparison Worksheet SCI/245 Version 6 minerals that are not found in other parts of the magma chamber. The specimen shown above is about two inches (five
    centimeters) across.

    In 100 to 200 words, suggest how the game in the museum might work.
