"Mom, How Does An Earthquake Happen?"

This book is the single most helpful book I have ever run across in trying to explain to my very visual son what happens when different earth phenomens occur. The experiments in this book brought to life the workings of our planet to my son in the 2nd grade. That was 5 years ago and he still remembers the experiments we did out of this book. The experiments can be recreated out of ordinary household/garage items. You will be amazed. I submit you will learn more about "How The Earth Works" than you thought possible. This will generate conversations with your children that will last a lifetime. Stop being afraid of science. Go through this book with your children.
