Is There a Dinosaur in Your Backyard?: The World's Most Fascinating Fossils, Rocks, and Minerals


Add your own review!

Overview

Could the bones of a T-Rex be lurking beneath your swimming pool? Did the rock that you skipped across the pond spew out of a volcanic eruption a few million years ago? Nothing captures the imaginations of children more than dinosaurs and the ancient history of Earth. TV personality Spencer Christian reveals the fascinating science behind fossils, rocks, and minerals and gets kids involved in hands-on experiments, including putting together a rock collection, growing crystals, and making a fossil mold. SPENCER CHRISTIAN (Closter, New Jersey), weather forecaster for Good Morning America, tells millions of Americans what to expect from the skies each day. He is also the author of books on subjects ranging from the weather to our government.
