Ever wondered why volcanoes erupt, how mountains form, or what makes a diamond so hard? In this class, we’ll become rock detectives and uncover the secrets hidden inside Earth! We’ll get our hands dirty exploring three types of rocks (igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic) and learn to identify them just like real geologists. We’ll dig through mystery rock samples, explore the formation of volcanoes, discover how waterfalls can move and change over millions of years, and explore the different layers of the Earth.

About Your Extraordinary Saturday (YES)
For 1st – 5th Grade Students
A New Adventure Every Weekend
MITY's program for elementary students enables inquisitive, high achieving 1st - 5th grade students to continue learning outside of the traditional classroom. Courses are intentionally designed to inspire inquiry, activate imaginations, and engage eager learners in hands on discovery that is not possible within a regular classroom setting. While students are in class, parents are invited to listen to professional speakers on topics related to raising bright children, socialize with other parents, or visit a local coffee shop.
