I just finished my nemesis...the Rocks & Minerals Lapbook.
OK, maybe it's not my nemesis, but it was a lot harder than I thought it would be. Definitely not for your kindergartener...maybe not for your senior in high school. LOL Just kidding. Up until last week, I didn't realize there was a difference between rocks and minerals. I thought they were the same....which is why I was NOT a geology major in college. You can download the lapbook at the Homeschool Treasure Trove Group. (Click link to join at right if you're not a member already.)

Since a number of people have asked where to find the answers for some of the booklets, I thought I'd add where I found some of the information to complete the lapbook. I used a number of books and online resources for this lapbook. The Geology Book by John D. Morris and The DK Smithsonian Handbook: Rocks & Minerals were two books I utilized most. For the online resources, go to another of my blog posts to see some great websites about geology. Don't forget to check Wikipedia for biographies of famous geologists. (For younger children, parents/adults may want to skim the Wikipedia entries for important information about these men and relate that to your child. It can get a bit "heavy" for young children.)
I have the links to the books and websites I used to make the lapbook in the post above. Just click on the titles. The lapbook itself is stored at the HomeSchool Treasure Trove group (click on the treasure map in the right sidebar. The link is also provided in the post above...click on the group name). Hope that helps. If you need more help, just email me (link just under the treasure map to the right. :-) )
Welcome to my blog...Why "gidget"? Well...my husband tried to teach me how to surf before we were married. I was lousy at it, but he called me his "gidget" and the name stuck.
Why "Treasure Trove"? I love sharing about my sweet little "treasures"...and God has blessed me beyond measure....and no, I didn't mean that to rhyme.
