Presents a number of simple science experiments that illustrate basic facts about the Earth.

Hands-on experiments are a great way to engage young scientists. Instead of simply reading facts, they will experience the science that is happening in front of their eyes! The simple experiments in this book, illustrated in color, will unlock the secrets of planet Earth, including why Earth has layers, how continents move, and how we know Earth is round. By the time young readers are finished with the activities in this book, they will be ready to design some of their own to enter in their next science fair.

"Explains how to use the scientific method to conduct several science experiments about earth science. Includes ideas for science fair projects"--Provided by publisher.

Volcanoes, mountains, and earthquakes. Fossils, glaciers, and crystals. Earth science has so many fun topics to explore, and this book is the best place to start understanding geology. Young scientists will learn about the Earth's layers, understand the forces that change our planet's surface, and explore how rocks, minerals, and crystals form. For students interested in competing in science fairs, this book contains great suggestions and ideas for further experiments.
