Earthquakes, volcanoes, massive shifting plates, rocks and minerals, and the powerful forces of erosion—we will investigate these topics and more in this geology class. As budding geologists, we will examine the structure of our planet and the processes that shape it as well as learn how to classify rocks. Working individually, in pairs and in small groups, we will simulate earthquakes, volcanoes, fossil creation and erosional forces. In addition to many hands-on science explorations, we will learn about these incredible earth processes through stories, games and art projects. We will also work on developing key scientific skills, such as questioning, observation, data recording, communicating and comparing. By the end of class, we will be able to use our new knowledge to view the geological world around us in an entirely new way!
