Winter time is great: skying, snow days, holidays – all of that is fun. On the other hand – the amount of times we’ve all been sick this wither wasn’t fun at all! Luckily, unlike me, the kids get over their infections very quickly and I am the only one dragging behind from one cold to another…

So, while I am still working on other articles, I couldn’t resist sharing this wonderful resource that we found: little videos that help kids understand the rock cycle, types of rocks and how it all comes together. We’ve been studding Geology and I found this site very helpful for my son and.. for me! Apparently, my own knowledge in geology completely weathered away since my college years…

So, ladies and gentlemen, presenting Interactive Rock Cycle! Enjoy!

Also, thanks to Karen from WorldWideMontessory class for this terrific link: Identifying Neighborhood Rocks and Using them. Thanks to this site, we were able to start our own rock collection right in our own yard… and we loved their images/links for both identifying our finds and playing with them!
