Description
We're sorry, but this activity is over. The last meeting was Wednesday, April 17, 2024.
EarthworksChildren are introduced to the science of geology. They examine three different rock types and learn how and where they formed. Children investigate tectonic plates and learn how their movements cause stress on the Earth. They discover that these movements cause stress on Earth. They discover that these movements can cause mountains to form, earthquakes to occur, and volcanoes to erupt. Magnetic MagicChildren learn how and why magnets behave by testing the basic physical principles governing magnetism. They learn how to create magnets and how magnetism is lost. Children use compasses to gain a better understanding of how humans benefit from the Earth’s magnetic force. Hands-on experimenting—from swinging compasses to motorized devices— allows children to explore the role of magnetism in our everyday lives.
