O'Neal's book, from the Earth Science Projects for Kids
series, acquaints readers with the basics of geology through the use of
hands-on activities. A Story Told in Sedimentary Rock uses multiple
colors of layered gelatin and particles of marshmallows, bananas, graham
crackers and other additives to simulate the deposition of limestone on the
ocean floor. Recreating the Rock Cycle utilizes bits of crayon to mimic the
results of heat and pressure in the formation of metamorphic and igneous rocks.
Other entries include: Make Your Own Geode. Deposition Message in a bottle, and
Instant Weathering. A section titled Further
Reading: provides additional resources subdivided into Books, Works Consulted, and
On The Internet. Information about Science Supply Companies is provided as is a
Glossary and Index. Many of the activities require adult supervision and help
as they require the use of a heat (oven, boiling water, etc.)
