Geology covers theseconcepts: - Earth has layers - Earth's crust is made of rock and soil - soil is made when rocks break down and mix with decaying plants - rocks have different properties - rocks are formed in different ways - the surface of the Earth is always changing - the resources we use come from the Earth - some rocks contain fossils that tell about life on Earth long ago. A variety of engaging activities present the concepts in ways that students can understand. Each concept presented includes: - teacher directions for lessons - reproducible resource pages such as sets of picture cards, minibooks, and lab sheets to record the results of hands-on investigations
