A rock may not seem very interesting at first but there are plenty of exciting facts to learn about them.
Quick Rock Fact File To Get Started
-The study of rocks and minerals is called geology, and people that do geology are called geologists.
-The whole of the earth's crust is made up of rock. Underneath the earth's crust is a core of molten rock called magma.
-The lava inside of a volcano is liquid rock and when it cools it forms a kind of rock called igneous rock.
-Types of igneous rock include granite and basalt. Rocks like chalk and sandstone are called sedimentary rocks.
-Sedimentary rocks build up over time from remains of plants, minerals and even animals!
-Gold and precious stones are found inside of other rocks. Gold, silver and quartz are minerals. Some rocks like granite are made up of lots of different minerals, that's what gives granite it's sparkly appearance.
Did You Know? Crystals are made when minerals get so hot that they become molten? When the molten mineral cools down, a beautiful crystal is formed. There are all sorts of different crystals in different colours and shapes.

Did You Know...
Finally, turn those laughs into learning moments, and amaze the kids with some of these fabulous rock facts!
-Most of the gold on earth comes from meteorites from space that hit the earth over 200 million years ago.
-The biggest gold nugget ever found was dug up in Australia in 1869 and weighed 78 kg.
-Although a lot of gold has been dug up, 80% of the world's gold is still buried underground. Pyrite is a different mineral that can be found in other rocks. It looks a lot like gold and so has been given the nickname 'fools gold'.
-Diamonds are one of the toughest and hardest materials on the planet.
-Some diamonds are actually from space! They were deposited on earth by a meteorite over 3 billion years ago.
-Most diamonds are billions of years old. The largest diamond ever formed was found in Africa in 1905 and was the size of a pineapple!
-Naturally diamonds come from inside of other rocks but scientists can now make diamonds themselves in laboratories.
-There are over 1000 volcanos in the world. Over half of them are in the Pacific Ocean and this ring of volcanos is called "The Ring of Fire".
These volcanos are gaps in the earth's rock crust where you can see the liquid rock beneath the earth's crust. This magma can erupt from the volcano and become solid, creating more layers of rock on the earth's surface.
