Join us for an exciting journey through the dynamic world of geology! Fossils, Crystals and Rocks is a one-day adventure for curious young explorers ready to dig into Earth’s natural wonders. Students will become junior geologists as they investigate rocks, minerals, and fossils, identify Earth’s treasures, and crack open geodes to reveal their hidden crystals. Through hands-on activities and experiments, students will discover how rocks form, change over time, and tell the story of our planet’s past. Get ready to explore, investigate, and uncover the amazing science hidden beneath your feet!
