Geology School Trips
Learning Objective
Rocks and fossils
From the evolution of the theory of Plate Tectonics to the modern methods of quarrying - the world of geology incorporates a wide range of themes and topics.
To help your class answer questions such as, 'what is a mineral?' or 'how are roads made?', take a look at the trips and workshops below.
Learn about the rock cycle and concepts such as uplift, erosion, transportation and deposition, to learn how igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks are formed.
On a global scale, study the processes associated with earthquakes and volcanoes (more about these subjects can also be found on our Physical Geography page.
Take a look at the Earth's distant past by getting hands on with fossils, or fast forward to the modern day by looking at the soils beneath our feet. Whatever your school geology topic, we can help!
