Here's an opportunity for your child to play with rocks. Perhaps he or she would rather find out what's inside a volcano or build his or her own volcano. This module has it all. Your child will classify rocks, investigate volcanoes, and find out what causes earthquakes. Your child will put his or her reading and language skills to work as he or she reads and writes about rocks, volcanoes and earthquakes. Throughout the module there will be opportunities for your child to experiment and build models as well as find out about being prepared for earthquakes.
