EARTH SCIENCE Presenter Camilla Gordon K-Y2 http://earthscience2.eventbrite.com
Most of the things we own are new, or just a few years old … except for that favourite rock of yours – that rock you chose because you liked the feel of it, because it shone or sparkled. That rock isn’t just a few years old. That rock can tell a story of things that happened millions of years ago. In fact every time you pick up a rock you are holding something in your hand which may even be billions of years old. This is our heritage – our Earth, our planet. In this session we will be learning about the earth & what it is made of. We’ll be looking at how Earth formed & why it is still a living planet.
