Your students will enter the exciting world of geology!
In-Person In-School Field Trip Description:
They will learn about the intriguing components of rocks and minerals and will use their scientific minds to predict, test and record observations. Using tools, sift and examine a dirt sample, perform a calcium carbonate test, examine rock and mineral samples, perform a magnetic test on a mineral, and learn about sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous rocks. The excitement builds as students become geologists and dig through a claystone to find minerals or fossils to take home!
