Why our Child-Experts Love It
Rock on!
This science kit is a great introduction for kids to geology. There is so much they will learn about, like the geologic rock cycle, the three main categories of rock (igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic), how they are formed, altered, destroyed and formed again.
These are the building blocks to our world. The ground that we stand on everyday. We love this set because its experiments make science (and rocks) come to life!
