**Discover how geology is part of our daily lives with Everyday STEM
Science--Geology.
**
Explore the wonders of Earth and see how geology is all around us, from
nature's materials that are used to construct roads and buildings, to
the minerals found in your cell phone and drinks can. Witness a volcanic
eruption, find out if there is water on Mars, unearth a dinosaur, and
meet the geologists and scientists who brought geology to life,
including Zelma Maine Jackson, Georges Cuvier, and Florence Bascom.
Readers can also carry out cool geology experiments at home.
With easy-to-understand text written by STEM expert Emily Dodd, and lots
of colorful artworks, photos, and diagrams, readers can best explore
where we encounter geology and why it's even important at all.
The Everyday STEM series makes science relevant to tweens. Instead of
telling kids STEM is important and is the key to their future success,
these books show readers how we use science, technology, engineering,
and math in our everyday lives. While the topics sound high-level and
complex, this series makes these concepts age-appropriate and
accessible. So, while we can't promise to teach 9 to 11-year-olds
quantum physics, we can explain in the simplest terms the practical
applications of STEM.
