The Dynamic Earth
Education.com – Geology Experiments
Nearly 4.6 billion years ago, within a vast cloud of
interstellar space, a small pocket of gas and dust
collapsed under its own gravity, and our Solar
System was born. In this interactive experience,
explore the dynamic forces that formed – and are
continually reforming – the Earth and our Solar
System.
These geology experiments offer great ways to
learn about rocks and the processes by which they
change. These experiments also make for great
home projects, from creating miniature salt flats,
to comparing the hardness of minerals, to making
crystals! So, whether it’s for a homework, or just for
fun, they have geology experiments to prove to
you that science rocks!
