Do you think rocks rock? I do, too! In this project, we’ll do hands-on activities to learn about rocks, minerals, and our corner of the Earth. Possible topics include: identifying rocks and minerals, the rock cycle, interpreting geological maps, microscope images of rocks, processes that formed the Bay Area, and Bay Area + California geology.
I’m a former club member (E 4-H 2015-2021), and I’m currently studying geology at the University of British Columbia. I’d like to learn more about the geology where I grew up, so let me know if you’re interested in joining me!
AGES: Open to all ages – all activities will likely have two versions for younger and older members
DATES: TBD. Sessions will be mostly hands-on activities to learn about rocks and Bay Area geology.
- Session 1: Minerals
- Session 2: Rocks + Rock Cycle
- Session 3: Bay Area Tectonics
- Session 4: Bay Area geology – Joaquin Miller field trip
- Session 5: Bay Area geology – Sibley field trip
PROJECT FEE: $5
