Rock On! gives a simple and informative introduction to different kinds of rocks, soils, fossils and minerals, exploring how and why they have formed and changed over time, their appearance and properties. Examples of where the different types of rocks mentioned can be found include places that are familiar to a child's local environment, such as soil in a garden, marble in tiles, diamonds in jewellery, fossils on a beach, but also found in exciting places such as the Crystal Caves in Mexico and the prehistoric woolly mammoth body in Siberia. These examples are shown through beautiful colour photographs and easy-to-understand illustrations. With the help of some Rock Solid! facts that provide cool examples and some fun activities to do, Rock On! shows you how amazing rocks can be.
