Geology Rocks! Discover how geologists work! Go beyond igneous, sedimentary & metamorphic rocks to learn the variety of contributions minerals make. Enquire Now Hands-on geology that works A hands-on Earth Science workshop where students investigate geological processes and landforms. Your students will learn about erosion, plate tectonics, landforms, soil classification, earthquakes, rock types and many others! This science workshop is run as station based exploratory session with our presenter working with the students to ensure learning outcomes are met. Available as a high school science incursion within Australia or as a video conference to any school around the globe! Trustpilot Online Class Version We’ve run live interactive distance programs since 2010 and are highly experienced in making online classes engaging for students on a variety of web conferencing platforms. All of the activities listed below will be covered during the conference. Upon booking, you will receive a PDF outlining the materials that you can have on hand to make the workshop more interactive.

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. Science Show Demonstrations Does it fit? Classify the soil - it a sandy loam or loamy clay? How hard is it?
