Science Stories

Thank you for the "ROCK STORY". I often spend time with my grandchildren talking walks along the shores of the ocean, lakes, rivers, as well as, swimming and snorkeling.
I've often told them of the treasures found at the bottom, mostly ROCKS AND THE STORIES OF THEIR LIVES if you look for them. Consequently they now have small boxes full of treasures. Including SEA GLASS, DRIFTWOOD and rocks of many different shapes, sizes, colors and composition. Having a collection of books with pictures with detailed descriptions of their origins and how they traveled to the PACIFIC NORTHWEST. Your short story helped my long explanations make sense to them and our hunting exciting. Fun and educational.

This app rocks!

As a former middle school science teacher, I’m going to be recommending this to friends who teach geology - what an entertaining supplement. Fun for us rockhounds, too.

Well done

Keep up the good work, lad. We need sharp, driven, innovative recruits in the sciences.
Graduate school awaits.

Boring
