Awards/获奖情况：This book is an excellent resource for teaching children the fundamental principles governing rocks and minerals. Topics are clearly and simply explained with superb photographs. Some topics included are: crystal shapes; igneous rocks; moving plates; identifying minerals; erosion; what soil is made of; making fossils; rocks in space. The book also contains a number of terrific and fun experiments that are well thought out and easy to duplicate. These experiments give children excellent hands-on understanding of the growth and properties of rocks and minerals. The materials needed for the experiments are readily available. Some of the experiments include: testing for hardness; making a goniometer; making glass and bubbles; making conglomerate rocks.

I highly recommend this book to parents who are homeschooling their children as well as to parents who wish to offer more information to schoolchildren who are interested in this subject.
