Geology Education for Grades 3-12 guides and encourages youth to learn about the geological processes occurring all around them. Level 1 introduces basic terms and concepts, and is intended for youth in grades 3-5. Activities focus on understanding important topics such as the rock cycle, rock textures, and crystal formation. Designed for students in grades 6-8, Level 2 offers readers more concrete examples of advanced geological concepts, including fossilization, mineral formation, and rock classification. The exercises in Level 3, which is geared toward grades 9-12, includes additional information on the Earth's varied landscapes, a variety of geological events, and the need for environmental regulation. It also prepares readers who may be interested in studying these topics at postsecondary institutions.
