About this worksheet
A short crossword for Year 3 science on rocks and fossils. It has two Across clues and four Down clues, each with the letter count in brackets. The clues describe a hard rock with visible crystals used for kitchen worktops, bands of rock stacked one above another, and rock that scratches easily. One clue explains that a fossil forms when the remains or print of a living thing are trapped in rock. Another defines soil as tiny rock pieces mixed with dead plant material. The sheet runs to three pages, and the answer key lists all six words.
