Need a fun, exciting way to help students learn content area vocabulary words? These Rocks and Minerals Vocabulary Cards and Study Slips are the perfect tools for helping your students practice and master their science vocabulary. This resources includes Google Slides versions of the vocabulary mats with moveable definitions and a Google Form Quiz.

With Vocabulary Match Up Mats, students have a mat of Rocks and Minerals vocabulary words and a set of definitions. Students leave the vocabulary word mat intact and cut apart the definitions. This encourages students to read each definition as they try to place the definitions on the mat with the correct term. As students practice their word knowledge again and again with these mats, their confidence and ability to define the terms grows!

The Rocks and Minerals Study Slips include the term, definition, and a related image. To use as an independent study tool, students can hide the term, read the definition, and guess the word OR hide the definition, view the word, and recite the definition. I’ve included suggested games to play using the study slips.
