You don't have to love dinos to have fun with this year's Summer Reading Program. Unearth a Story with Petrology, the study of rocks.
When you complete 2 tasks, you will earn 20 points and a badge.
You have heard of a car wash but what about a rock wash? Offer your child a bowl of water, sponges, washcloths, old toothbrushes, etc. Talk to your child about the differences in a dry vs. wet rock. Does it look different now that it is clean?
Collect some rocks together and bring them home. Sort the rocks by size, shape, color or texture. Do it again!
Create shapes on the ground using rocks! You can make a straight line, circle, spiral, heart, etc.
Go on a rock scavenger hunt. Find a rock that is very small, one with stripes, one that is brown, one that is grey, etc.
Find the best rock and make it your pet this summer! Name your rock, decide what it likes to eat, what sort of habitat does it need?
