As they work step-by-step through the fun and innovative activities and experiments they will discover...
- how rocks form and why they all look different
- how to tell rocks apart—just like a geologist
- how to make their own sand and soil from rocks
- how to create and then excavate a fossil from rock
- and much more!
The experiments have been created to use rocks from a backyard, park, or beach and everyday equipment and materials that will be accessible to all readers. They will ask questions, make observations, gather evidence, test theories, and record their conclusions.
Instead of just reading about this fascinating topic, readers will work like scientists to discover for themselves all about sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks, how fossils formed, and how Earth's rocks are forever changing and recycling as part of the rock cycle.
