What is a rock, and how does it form?  By now, I’m sure you can think of at least some types of rocks.  You probably can name different types of “gemstones”, but may not know that these are actually different from rocks - they are minerals.  We will learn how these two objects differ from one another.

After learning the difference between a rock and a mineral, we will learn about the three main forms rocks take.  You will observe examples of each of the three.  And to demonstrate how these rocks transform, we will demonstrate using starbursts in an oven!

Registration opens at 10:00 on March 3rd
