Geology Rocks!

Geology Rocks!

Discover how geologists work! Go beyond igneous, sedimentary & metamorphic rocks to learn the variety of contributions minerals make.

Hands-on geology that works!

A hands-on Earth Science workshop where students investigate geological processes and landforms. Your students will learn about:

  • Earthquakes & Volcanos
  • Plate tectonics & faultlines
  • Rock types & erosion
  • Landforms & soil classification
    + many others!

This science workshop is a run as a station-based exploratory session with our presenter working with the students to ensure learning outcomes are met.

MET Kellyville

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Nina for coming out to M.E.T. Kellyville today to lead us through the Geology Rocks and Hot and Cold programmes. It was very professionally run and Nina was very patient with the many requests of the students. A huge thank you once again, we look forward to running more workshops in the future.
