GEOLOGY CAMP HIGHLIGHTS - TUESDAY

The children have had fun learning to observe and identify rocks at the observation center.

Kyle and Ethan experiment with the weight of rocks at the math center. We decided to carry this over to the next day so that they could also weigh with weights. They were VERY occupied at this center.
The children listen to a dinosaur book at the listening center.
The children experimented with making crystals from sugar at the experiment center.
More fun at the observation center.
We went on a field trip to BYU's Earth Science Museum. We let the children browse the museum finding what interested them most and taking notes of questions they had that we could answer through the camp.
Here they observe BYU geology students at work on fossils in the lab.
Isabel points out her favorite rock at the museum.Ethan and Leif write in their observation journals their findings.
