Program Description
SUMMARY:
Students will become geologists in training as they learn more about the science of the Earth. Through a combination of engaging demonstrations and handson activities, students will explore rocks, minerals, mountains, and much more. They will build their own sedimentary stacker to take home so they can continue to investigate the fascinating elements of Earth science.

EDUCATIONAL VALUE:
“Earthworks” is an excellent introduction to the science of geology. Students will explore different types of rocks and the processes that help to form them. They will investigate the formation of mountains and try to build some of their own. The science of Earthquakes will be explained to help provide an understanding of the forces that create these amazing occurrences. This class intends to illustrate to students the importance of understanding Earth science.

NOTE: Mad Science Programs are fun explorations into science and technology, and they encourage informal learning through hands-on experience. All Mad Science workshops include a lot of fascinating equipment, supplies, and take-home materials which the children build themselves. The Mad Science mission is to spark the imagination and curiosity of children everywhere by providing them with fun, entertaining, and educational activities which instill a clear understanding of what science really is, and how it affects the world around them.
