From Booklist
Gr. 5-8. Titles in the Earth Science! Best Science Projects series offer both information and projects related to their subjects. While other volumes in the series tackle the environment, weather, and "Planet Earth," this book explores geological topics such as continental drift, earthquakes, volcanoes, watersheds, types of erosion, and the formation of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. After an introduction to the scientific method and a list of safety rules, the presentation offers 23 experiments within four broad headings, including one project that demonstrates how groundwater moves through soil and another illustrating how igneous rocks are formed. A typical experiment is presented with a list of materials, background information, an illustration or diagram, and several paragraphs discussing the experiment. A useful source of ideas for worthwhile science fair projects. Carolyn Phelan
