Rocks and Minerals for Kids is a Fun Fact Rock Book that Children will Find Fascinating. Get the kid's most FAQ answered. Enjoy pictures about Geology and kid's favorite rocks.
Have you ever wondered how rocks are made, or what the difference is between a rock and a mineral? Maybe you are fascinated by the largest rock in the world or just love looking at awesome pictures of rocks and how they were formed. Fossil rocks, meteorites and volcanoes are always a good favorite. There are all those topics, and a lot more in this book about rocks. Forgot to mention a fun quiz, and some rock jokes all thrown in too! You will get access to a cool free Asteroid game, free worksheets and other cool stuff.
It was written because I can remember my children’s fascination with anything to do with rocks. From the ages of about 8 – 12 they enjoyed many things to do with nature, but anything about rocks for kids, or collecting rocks held their concentration. The pictures of rocks and other things to do with rock facts are fascinating.
This rock and mineral book is really an engaging, fun fact guide to answer many of the basic questions we all have about rocks. This includes what is the difference in rocks and minerals, how rocks were made, the different types of rocks we get on Earth and the popular uses for them. You will learn about the formation of the earth billions of years ago and discover details about Igneous, Metamorphic and Sedimentary rocks. There are loads of pictures that are fun and fascinating for kids and adults alike. There is a section where you will learn about rock characteristics and how the Geologists work out what is rock and what is mineral.
Some other interesting things you will learn about is collecting rocks and how to get started. There are some tips and safety suggestions for beginners. I can remember starting a rock collection by sticking rocks and stones I had found around our house onto cardboard. My passion soon had me progressing onto putting the collected rocks onto a shelf of their own.
