Rockin' Websites

Here are some helpful rock websites.

1.) http://www.fi.edu/fellows/fellow1/oct98/create/ is a very nice and simple explanation of the different ways rocks are made with simple Linkanimations.

2.) http://www.rocksforkids.com/RFK/Rocks&Minerals.html Is an AMAZING site that allows you to click on pretty much every type of rock EVER and see what it looks like...this will come in very handy later!

3.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rocks
although I generally avoid wikipedia this is such a good catalog of rock pictures!

4.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minerals here is a very comprehensive list of all the types of minerals out there.

5.) http://www.rocksforkids.com/RFK/howrocks.html
can basically teach you everything you need to know about rocks and the rock cycle. A simple and clear overview.

6.) http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/dinosaurs/dinofossils/index.html this is a very comprehensive interactive site for fossils.
