Junior Geologists Academy (Ages 8–13)
Discover the exciting world of rocks, fossils, volcanoes, crystals, earthquakes, and the powerful forces that shape our planet!
Our 10-week Junior Geologists Academy introduces students to the fascinating science of geology through hands-on investigations, experiments, fossil discoveries, and interactive Earth science activities. Through exploration and discovery, students learn how Earth was formed, how landscapes change over time, and how geologists uncover clues about our planet’s incredible history.
Throughout the program, students will:
Excavate fossils and learn how paleontologists study prehistoric life
Investigate rocks, minerals, gemstones, and crystal formations
Explore how volcanoes form and what causes eruptions
Discover how earthquakes occur and how scientists measure them
Learn how mountains, continents, and oceans are shaped by plate tectonics
Identify minerals using real geological testing methods
Grow crystals and investigate how they form in nature
Examine meteor impacts and mass extinction events
Crack open geodes and discover hidden crystal treasures
Complete a final Geology Challenge Day and Junior Geologist graduation ceremony
Every session includes hands-on activities, guided instruction, interactive demonstrations, and take-home projects. Students learn Earth science through exploration and experimentation rather than memorization, making geology exciting, accessible, and memorable.
No prior geology experience is required. All materials are provided, and activities are designed to be age-appropriate, engaging, and easy for beginners to understand.
By the end of the program, students won’t just know about rocks and fossils—they’ll understand how Earth changes over time, how geological processes shape the world around us, and how scientists uncover the history hidden beneath our feet.
Program Length: 10 Weeks
Session Length: 2 Hours Per Week
Age Group: 8–13 Years Old
Includes:
Fossil excavation activities
Rock and mineral investigations
Crystal-growing experiments
Geode exploration
Take-home projects
Certificate of completion
Junior Geologist graduation
Format: Library • School • Community Program • Summer Program
