Geology Lab: Rocks & Landforms

Investigating the geological processes that shape our world!

A hands-on holiday science workshop where kids investigate geological processes and landforms through immersive, station-based exploration.

What we investigate:

  • 🌋 Plate Tectonics: How mountains & volcanoes form.
  • 💎 Rock Types: Identifying different specimens.
  • Erosion: How wind and water shape the land.
  • 🏘️ Soil Classification: The earth beneath us.
  • ⚠️ Earthquakes: Why the ground shakes.

✨ Reliability You Can Trust

Coordinating holiday programs for Libraries, OOSH, BASC, and Councils requires hassle-free logistics and proven engagement.
