ABSTRACT
There is a lot of knowledge about magmatic rock. When students study the magmatic rock knowledge, they feel difficult to master it. I have explored for many years and found that teaching magmatic rock knowledge in a hierarchical way is effective. First the magmatic rock definition is taught. Second the occurrence of magmatic rock is taught. Third the structure and construction of magmatic rock are taught. Fourth the chemical and mineral composition of magmatic rock is taught. Finally several typical magmatic rocks are taught, such as granite, diorite, gabbro, rhyolite, basalt, diabase and so on. This kind of propulsive teaching method is interlinked with each other, and the students have a good grasp of magmatic rocks knowledge.
