Offsite programs follow different structures depending on your group’s topic of choice. For example…
- ‘Paleontology’ Focus: Journey through geologic time, taking a look at the animal and plant fossils that tell us about the past! Specific topics may include geologic time periods, fossil formation, or evolution.
- ‘Geology’ Focus: Take a closer look at the natural materials of our planet, and the processes by which they form! Specific topics may include rocks and minerals, plate tectonics, natural hazards, or natural resources.
- ‘Astronomy’ Focus: Explore Earth’s connections to the rest of our solar system and beyond! Specific topics may include raw materials in space or what makes a planet habitable.
