Geology and Soils

Dig your hands into geology in this fun class focused on the composition and process of soils. Students learn the concepts of soil components, erosion, percolation, soil “recycling,” and more as they work together to make their very own soil. Some explorations into rock types and formation are also available. Students will have a great time getting their hands dirty!
