Learning About Rocks and Minerals

In the last few weeks of school, we're going to learn about rocks and minerals! Our exploration will begin by studying cave formations--after all, we'll be visiting Indian Echo Caverns in a few weeks.

Here are some fun cave websites to explore.

Cave formation animation: This site shows how caves form.

How are caves different? This fun site for kids shows differences between life in caves and life above ground. 

What in the world is karst? While Adams County is not home to many karst formations, much of Pennsylvania is. Learn about karst with animations and info on this page.
