 | All About Rocks & Minerals |

| |
Minerals are an important part of everything around us -- from the pencils we write with to the airplanes in the sky. Even the Earth beneath our feet is packed solid with these essential building blocks. In All About Rocks & Minerals, children will discover the characteristics of minerals and see how different minerals make up different kinds of rocks: igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. A visit to a lapidary shop examines some beautiful gemstones, while a fun, hands-on investigation demonstrates how solid crystals can be made from a liquid. Part of the Earth Science for Children Video Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online. |
