The lesson

Look under your feet. What is there? It is ground. The ground is made of rock.

Try it together

Mia picks up a stone in the garden. The stone is a small piece of rock. The big Earth is made of rock too.

>
The Earth is huge. A stone is tiny. Both are made of rock.
Good to know

A stone is like a tiny piece of the huge Earth. Both are rock.

Rock is solid. It does not flow like water. Earth is solid all the way down to hard rock.

Earth is solid rock, and every stone is a tiny piece of it.
