Excerpt from Book

Log Tips Rock Hunting When hunting for rocks/minerals, bring along this Rock Log and something to write with. A camera and magnifying glass are both useful but not necessary. Bring a bag/backpack to put the rocks in that you collect (ask an adult if it's okay), a bottle of water to keep you hydrated, sturdy shoes, and a hat and sunscreen to keep you safe from the sun. Record It As you explore, fill out a Log page with information about the rock or mineral that you have found and draw a picture of it. If it is allowed (ask an adult), keep the rock for your collection. Identify what kind of rock/mineral it is using a field guide, a rock book, or using the internet to find out more about it. You can record up to 30 rocks/minerals on your Life List. Transfer the dates and rock/mineral types from the Log pages to your Life List pages to create a quick view of your progress. Have Fun! Learn more with the rock/mineral Facts and explore and play games with the Activities, all located on the right side of the Log pages. Be Creative! There is more space to draw directly onto the Photos/Art pages, or attach your original artwork, a photo you've taken, a postcard, or a picture from a magazine. Respect Nature Please leave rocks/minerals where you find them if on private land or publicly protected property. Before collecting anything, ask an adult if it's okay. State and national parks have their own rules about what you can take from their property. Stay with an adult, and always ask permission before going onto private land. Stay Safe! Rock hunting in pits and on the edges of roads, highways, or roof-tops is not safe. Also use caution when rock hunting in or near streams, creeks, rivers, and lakes. Other Uses You don't have to be outside to use this log. Bring this Rock Log and something to write with to a science museum or a natural history museum, watch a show on TV, or go online to check out more about rocks/minerals.
