Course Description

Geology is the foundation upon which all life has been built and is a science of stories. Geology determines bedrock and soils and in its processes, has given us the substrate on which our plant communities grow. Essential to understanding Minnesota's three major biomes is the geologic story. In this course we will identify the major rock types and learn their fascinating stories: when and where they were formed, what kind of environment they formed in, how they impact the land, and where these rocks can be found in Minnesota. Field trips, activities, and discussions will be interdisciplinary and applicable to non-formal and formal educators.
