Students will work at a variety of hands-on learning stations to increase their knowledge of SE MN geology including rock layers, fossils and sink holes. They will also learn how Karst Geology impacts our water quality. Students will then hike to Quarry Hill and view some of the geologic features of the park. They will also visit a sandstone cave on the premises, go fossil hunting, and make observations about the different rocks and rock layers that they will be visiting. For fun, they will be able to climb the 16 foot limestone rock wall.
