Getting Started
Kids love rocks. It's exciting to wonder where it's been, how it got there, and what it's made of. And rocks are absolutely everywhere you look!
Students get to explore the stuff that the earth is made of: rocks, minerals, soils, water, and more in this beginning course in Earth Science.
You'll learn how to identify which minerals that look the same but aren't, like gold and pyrite, along with minerals that don't look the same but are, like hematite. You'll also learn about the earth's resources and how we are finding better ways to use them everyday!
