I want to rate 5 stars but for some reason the site only lets me select 4
Stars… Just received the Geology for Kids rock kit today. We ordered the kit with the books for 8th grade next year, plus I ordered Bedrock Geology and Genesis Rock Solid for my high schoolers. The kit shipped separately. This kit is so gneiss! (See what I did there?) I am impressed with the quality, large samples and I can’t wait to get the books too. The box for the kit is larger than I expected and is high quality cardboard and will last. Each rock in labeled and rocks are in thick plastic ziplock bags with a label for each type of rock sample in that bag.

I completed this kit with my children, ranging in age from 3 to 13, and we loved it! It was a wonderful introduction to Biblical geology and brings to life the truth of the historical account of Genesis. My children loved all of the rock samples and can still identify various rock types and formations, several years later. They still use the rock and fossil samples to set up their own museums! As an engineering graduate, myself, educated in Darwinian geology, this curriculum was a tremendous blessing to me, as I cherished learning the truth about geological history, with my children. Along with several of Nurre’s resources, I have been able to discern the lies of evolutionary geology that I had been taught, as they oppose both the Scriptures and global geological evidence.
