Course Description:

Are you curious about the world around you and how it has changed over time? Do you like collecting rocks, fossils, or seashells? Come spend the day learning all about geology! The morning of Planet Earth Lab! will involve examining stunning samples of minerals, rocks, and fossils. You will learn about how minerals form, the different rock types, and how fossils are preserved in the rock record. Are you curious about how we can determine the size of a dinosaur just by examining its footprints in the fossil record? You will see how this is possible. The afternoon of Planet Earth Lab! will introduce big-picture plate tectonics, surface processes, and atmospheric phenomena, all of which build upon our understanding of natural disasters that impact our planet such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, and hurricanes.
