introduce third-grade students to geology-the scientific study
of the origin, history, and structure of the Earth. Students
will read about different kinds of rock, and about how and why
those rocks formed. They will meet scientists who study rocks
and minerals, and learn about their scientific tools. They will
read about a stonemason who selects and works with stone to
create beautiful and lasting monuments and buildings. They will
visit the breathtaking Grand Canyon of the Colorado River in the
American Southwest. Other stories describe magnificent
structures created from rock in ancient times-the pyramids of
Egypt and Mexico-and more recently-Mount Rushmore and the
National Museum of the American Indian. View all STC books for
