Rocks and fossils are brilliant things to study scientifically. They can tell us a huge amount of interesting information about our rocky planet – Earth. In Rocks and Fossils you’ll delve into the science behind these marvels of the natural world by conducting ten investigations and experiments using the ATOM method – Ask, Test, Observe and Measure – to ensure you’re working just like a professional scientist. Find out about the three main types of rock and what happens to rocks during a volcanic eruption and in processes like weathering and erosion. Discover how and why fossils form and how hard or soft some rocks can be! At the end of the book, scientific guidelines explain why scientists do things a certain way and the things they look out for or try to avoid.
