We see pretty pebbles at the beach, and we can find rocks in all shapes and sizes in backyards and parks. But what are rocks made of? Where do they come from? Why are they different colors, and why are some rocks hard and smooth, while others are rough and crumbly?

As they do so, these young scientists will be observing, recording their observations, and drawing conclusions.

Colorful, dynamic designs and images truly put the FUN into FUN-damental Experiments!
