Rocks, Minerals and Fossils
Rocks and minerals are important to everyone, every day. We see rocks everywhere – both as a part of the Earth, and used by society in construction and manufacturing. All of the raw materials we use to make things are either grown (plants and animals) or mined (rocks and minerals).
Fossils – Ozarks Paleontology – Bruce Stinchcomb
Precambrian, Cambrian, and Lower Ordovician rocks constitute the geologic center of the Ozarks and yield marine fossils of early history of marine animal life

15 Ways Kids Can Study Geology at Home – Earth Science Jr.
As an increasing number of parents and caregivers take up the educator mantle, there’s more interest in teaching subjects like science, technology, engineering, and mathematics from home. Luckily, you don’t have to be a science buff to teach your kids about these topics. Earth sciences are particularly well-suited for at-home learning.
A Guide to Backyard Geology
Backyard geology is a fun and interesting way to study the earth’s history and discover the value of your own property. In this guide, we’ll discuss the fundamentals of geology and explain how to get started hunting and collecting rocks in your backyard.
All About Rocks and Rock Collecting
Earth is made up of rocks, and it’s fascinating to study geology to learn more about Earth’s composition. Rocks come in all shapes and sizes, and they fall under three main categories, which are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. The way rocks are formed will determine their category.
Discover The Fun Of Backyard Geology
When you’re teaching your kids about the big wide world, why not start in your own backyard? Give them a shovel and turn them loose on the path to learning first-hand about our planet’s rocks and minerals through your own backyard geology. Rocks and stones are solids naturally made from minerals.
