Today you’re going to be a real geologist! Get hands on with real samples of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.
Discover that not all hard things are rocks and that some have surprising properties. Learn how fossils are formed when things that have lived are trapped within rock with our "How to fossilise a fish" demo.
You will understand how different types of rock – igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary – are formed and how each is related to the other with our animated rock cycle. Finish the session by getting into knots as we reveal how the rock ‘cycle’ isn’t always circular.
