What This Teaches Best
It introduces the broad field of Earth science by showing that scientists study rocks, minerals, oceans, weather, and objects in the sky.
It teaches how Earth materials are used by people, including rocks, minerals, metals, and energy resources from Earth and water.
It explains how geologists identify minerals using luster, hardness, color, and streak.
It clearly shows how rocks form and change through the rock cycle, including igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.
It builds understanding of soil composition and fossil formation through weathering, sediment, layers, molds, imprints, and petrified remains.
