    Description
    Students will study minerals, rocks, and sediments and the processes that form them. These and other geologic processes will be related to plate tectonics, the rock cycle and the water cycle. A major focus is on using the scientific method to study these geologic processes and concepts. Projects will include using technology to conduct experiments that model geologic processes, interpreting maps and other images, and studying geologic processes in the field. Field trips may be required.
