Be Your Own Rock And Mineral Expert introduces its readers to other ways of having fun with stones besides skipping them on the water or kicking them down the road. Here's your chance to learn much more about rocks and minerals through hands-on experiments and other entertaining activities.

Studying rocks and minerals can be an adventure. Go on mineralogical excursions equipped with maps and a compass to find your way, and use a clinometer and geologic hammer for making new discoveries.

By studying the "evidence" you can figure out which types of rock you've found, how rocks are classified, and how to record what you have seen based on the surrounding geography. Create your own geological "lab" where you can make models of fossils, calculate a rock's density, see if it is soluble - and more!

Dig into planet Earth with 50 nifty activities presented in Geology Crafts for Kids! Have mountains of fun searching for all kinds of treasures right beneath your feet as you learn about different kinds of rocks and minerals, volcanoes and earthquakes, planetary placement, and much more.

These are just a few of the fun things this book shows you and your friends how to do: Make sandstone just like canyons in the Southwest. Imitate the look of marble with special coloring techniques. Make a fossil cast that looks a million years old. Make a homemade seismograph to measure "quaking" movements. Build with miniature adobe bricks. Watch crystals grow. Bake cookies that look like metamorphic rocks (but taste great!). And 43 more projects that are fun, entertaining, educational and promise hours of adventuresome and educational fun.
