Mt. Pleasant, SC (August 2014) – Withhome schooling on the rise and school budgets slashed, author Tracy Barnhart offers a fun approach to rock and mineral identification that educators can use to teach geology to children, even if they know very little about the science. In her new nonfiction, “Help, I Have to Teach Rock and Mineral Identification and I’m Not a Geologist,” Ms. Barnhart provides all of the tools a teacher or parent needs to explore the fascinating world of rocks and minerals with their elementary, middle or high school students. The book is currently available in eBook format from Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Kobo. A PDF version of the book is also available for purchase at www.MiniMeGeology.com.
While not every teacher or home school has the luxury of having a college degree in geology, this new book fully explains the step by step process that geologists use to identify mineral and rock samples. Ms. Barnhart explains the tools geologist use, how to perform a variety of tests on samples, provides suggested rock and mineral groupings for children of different ages and identification flow charts that teachers and parents can use to aid their lessons.
