Join the Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory as we explore geology! Your student will learn all about rocks, volcanoes, and fossils. Together we will learn how rocks form and the different categories of rocks. Then we will learn about the explosive history of this area as we make our own volcanoes and see what rocks are formed from lava. Lastly, we will blast to the past and learn how fossils are made and start our own fossil experiment. This lesson is NGSS aligned and addresses the following concepts:
- Evidence of common ancestry and diversity: fossils
- Plate tectonics and Large-Scale System interactions
