Earth Science is a wide, scientific discipline covering all facets of how the earth works. Learn about weather, global warming, natural disasters and how the world's oceans function.

UNDER YOUR FEET – 1 hour, sets of 12, $6/student
The children will learn about the structure and composition of the Earth as they make a model of the Earth that shows its layers as well as its oceans and continents. Eating a Tootsie Roll Pop will remind them of the Earth’s three main layers.

VOLCANOES – 1 hour, sets of 12, $6/student
The children will learn about volcanoes and how they are formed and will get to observe samples of extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks. They will make a scientific model of a volcano that they will take home and cause to erupt using a chemical reaction. A demonstration of Volcano Island will provide excitement as the children choose a homesite location on the island and then watch as the volcano erupts and lava flows down its sides.

ROCK OVERVIEW – 1 hour, sets of 12, $6/student
The children will be introduced to scientific rock classification and to the rock cycle. The three rock groups—sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic—will be described. The children will make their own rock board with three samples from each rock group.

FOSSIL DIG – 1 hour, sets of 12, $6/student
The children will explore fossils and discover the ways that three different types of fossils are formed. Students learn how paleontologists study fossils to learn about life a long, long time ago. They will go to a pretend dig to find blocks containing “fossils”: They will remove the fossils from their block using proper paleontology procedures and techniques. Finally, the children will each get a sample of fossiliferous limestone and learn how this kind of rock was formed.
