Welcome to The Homeschool Den! Our blog shares the homeschooling adventures of our kids who are 8 (LD), 6 (DD) and 3 1/2 (ED). In any given week we might enjoy math games, science projects or experiments, geography challenges and history projects, lots of reading, plenty of time outdoors in nature, Montessori inspired activities, and lots of other hands-on fun. Come have a glimpse at what we've been up to lately.

Learning How Sedimentary, Igneous and Metamorphic Rocks were Formed
These are cards from the teacherdesk.info. The packet was more than 60 pages long and I thought it was a good quality product (it was $4 US dollars). We used them a lot in our talks today.
Other good resources for rock stuff are mii.org and geology.com . mmi has a free teacher kit you can request that includes a bunch of cool posters (and they have stuff you can download yoo).
Oh thank you! I'll go check that out. LD seems really keen to learn more about rocks. Luckily the kit has lots of experiment ideas as I'm totally overwhelmed with the process of moving behind the scenes here. I put together a for sale list six pages long (half of which has already sold!! Whew!). That tells you how much useless stuff we've accumulated, though!! Ahh... sorry, I meant just simply to saying I appreciate the websites not dribble on about my stress!!
