Time is growing short. Teams work together to identify physical properties of rocks in order to determine the properties that would best suit their cavern shelter design.

Why do rocks break down over time? Learners explore this concept by simulating physical and chemical weathering of different types of rocks. They use an abrasive to demonstrate physical weathering and acid to demonstrate chemical...

Apply the principles of geology to a series of collaborative, hands-on class activities. Young earth scientists learn more about igneous, metamorphic, and sedentary rocks before classifying and weathering rocks that they find....

In these two activities, students learn about metamorphic rocks and how they are created.

Did you know that there are some rocks that actually float? Follow this interactive investigation to find out which ones and why.

A good resource if you want a quick overview of the formation process for igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rock.
