From the Publisher

Just a few of the activities inside:

Rocky Road

Igneous rocks form when molten rock suddenly cools. Sedimentary rocks are made from layers of sand, mud, or other materials. Metamorphic rocks have been buried deep within the earth and changed by heat and pressure. What kind of rocks can you find in your neighborhood?

A Tricky Choice

Pill bugs, or roly-polies, are small crustaceans that can roll into little balls. Pill bugs can be found in places with rotting vegetation, like under rocks and old leaves. If you give pill bugs a choice between a wet environment and a dry one, which will they choose?

Mysterious Winter Trees

The easiest way to identify a tree is to look at its leaves. In the winter, most trees don’t have leaves. What other tree parts might give you clues for identifying types of trees in winter? Can you tell what kind of trees are growing around your home or school?
