__Igneous Rocks__ media type="file" key="10.wav" width="300" height="50" I chose Igneous rocks as my topic because I didn`t know much about it. In the cycle igneous rocks are 3rd so for example it's first Magma, then cooling,and then igneous rocks. Ha easy. Igneous rocks can be as hard as granite or hornblende. Igneous rocks can be in many colors such as black, yellow and pink. Did you know that igneous comes from the greek word of fire. I think we use the word igneous to describe rocks because the magma is like fire. Weather and erosion turn igneous rocks into sedimentry rocks. Heat and pressure turn igneous rocks into metimorphic rocks. Isn't it cool that igneous rocks come from volacanoes.

__Comments from Teachers during the research process:__


 * Note from Mr. Kleyn. Are you also going to use electronic resources? Please pay attention to punctuation. Do you think all igneous rocks will have the same hardness? Can you come up with another question? Great start.

Note from Mr. VanOrden: I like your questions! I read that the word "igneous" comes from a Greek word for fire. I wonder why we use that word to describe certain types of rock.

Note from Mrs. Smith: The research information you chose to share is very interesting ~ and your writing has great voice! This is great work. Now you know much more about this topic.
