If you can find rocks and stones in your garden then you can use those but if not then you can use the poster pictures of rocks that are on the powerpoint to look at in order to complete this activity! You could cut and stick them onto the Venn or Carroll diagrams but you need to label them to say why you have sorted them in that way. e.g all of these rocks are smooth and shiny, all of these are sharp and spiky etc...
