Event Details

Get ready to rock! "Geology Rocks" is the first program in the library's new "Fun with the Fleet" series of monthly virtual workshops. Examine rocks, minerals and learn how these rocks start to form through the guidance of an educator from the Fleet Science Center! During the session, we’ll be looking at types of rocks and ways to identify them, as well as the rock cycle. Kits will be available for registrants to pick up at the library starting Monday, Sept. 28, and a Zoom link will be emailed to registrants the day before the event. Geared to children in grades K-5th. 

Each Geology Rocks kit includes everything your child will need to participate in the program:

  • 2 different types of rocks/ minerals to test
  • streak plate
  • nail
  • penny
  • crayon
  • wax paper
  • instructions for the rock cycle, rock testing and making your own mineral toothpaste

*Please show your confirmation registration email to staff when picking up a kit at the circulation desk.
