ROCK my World

Can you guess? What is something that you see everyday...no matter where you go or where you look? They might be little or big. You might even see them around the neck of a little kid. You guessed right! ROCKS!

Rocks are everywhere. They have been on the earth over four billion years.  The rock you see might have once been part of a magnificent mountain or spectacular cave. It could have even been stomped by a dinosaur. Rocks are a fascinating way to discover information about the history of the earth.

Most rocks are made of minerals. However, all rocks are not the same. That is why rock collecting is so interesting and fun. Every rock has its own story.

Rocks can be put into three basic rock types: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. How a rock is formed determines which group it is placed in.
