Minerals, Rocks, and Soil

Grade 3-4, Earth & Space, Minerals, Rocks, and Soil Unit
The book Minerals, Rocks, and Soil describes various nonliving Earth materials, beginning with elements and building up to minerals and rocks. Three different rock types - igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic - form and change through the rock cycle, and they further change due to weathering and erosion. The book describes soil formation and layering. People and other living things depend on Earth's resources.
