Arcadia Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 We like The Encyclopedia of Earth A Complete Visual Guide (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0520254716) Earth Science 9th Edition by Tarbuck, Lutgens (http://wps.prenhall.com/esm_tarbuck_escience_9/) ETA: We also like the videos on Nova Science Now online. My boys also collected rocks from beaches and parks. They bought some too from the tech museum gift store. We have a small digital handheld microscope.

Penguin Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Connect the Thoughts has a geology course. You could pair it up with a different text and still make good use of the course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMoon Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 The Boy Scout's Merit Badge book has some great activities. You don't need a member number to buy, and many libraries carry the whole collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
