Can rock melt?
What are fossils?
How do stalactites and stalagmites form?

The book also contains dozens of for developing your own science fair projects about rocks and minerals.

See how sedimentary rock is formed using two pillows, a yardstick, and some masking tape. Make models of rocks and minerals with gumdrops, toothpicks, and plastic bags. Learn what carbonate minerals are and how to identify them using a glass jar, some vinegar, and an egg. All experiments use inexpensive household materials and involve a minimum of preparation and clean up.
