Week 4: Geology

After a week off, our after school science program returns with more hands-on science fun! This week, our young scientists were geologists. We made observations about our rock specimens and learned how to identify the type of rock it was. We'll be using what we learned this week and applying it to next week's exploration.

This week, our vocabulary words were:
GEOLOGY     IGNEOUS (lava rock)     METAMORPHIC (morphing)     SEDIMENTARY (sediments)

Below is what some of the rocks in Ms. Carmen's collection look like under the digital microscope:
