A collection of 50 activities for kids. It covers the broad spectrum of geological phenomena, including plate tectonics, continental drift, mountain and valley formation, erosion and fossils. Projects include making sandstone, a fossil cast that looks a million years old, and a seismograph.
I used this book with a 7th grade class of "reluctant learners" and was completely delighted by their enthusiasm. All of the projects we tried (about 3/4 of those offered) were successful. As I was operating on a low budget, I appreciated being able to use the easily found materials and ingredients listed in the procedures. The Faux Marble project results were especially astounding. Get this book and enjoy!
