What is Geology?
· Where is it used in everyday life?
· How to identify a rock?
· What is hydrogeology and why is it important?
This class is designed to get kids excited about geology and introduce them to fun concepts they probably will not see in school. Participants will have the opportunity to see cool fossils, dig up and identify their own rock, and complete a hands-on hydrogeology activity.
Please register for each adult and child coming, so we have enough seating.
***All money from registration is being donated to the WMU Geology Club. *****
Class is being held inside Rockhound Rockshop in the classroom. Please come show your support for the WMU Geology Club.
