This companion to Outdoor Science Lab for Kids and Astronomy Lab for Kids is structured around more than 50 experiments...It's a smart, hands-on way for kids to get a better understanding of the rock cycle, volcanism, and the formation and breakdown of rocks and minerals. - Publishers Weekly As a dad, I love to find fun things that I can do with my girls that are easy to create but also educate my kids without them knowing that they are learning (Sneaky!!). This book allows you to do this. You can have a blast with your kids through the large number of activities presented in the book. Best of all, for the most part I found that I had most of the supplies needed for the activities. - Christopher Lewis, Dad of Divas blog
