Please note: Part of this class requires students to work at-home on a science fair project. Projects will be proudly displayed at the MCS Elementary Science Fair. To fully understand the class topics and requirements, please review the SYLLABUS before requesting enrollment.  

​

Have you ever wondered things like - Why do some volcanoes explode?  Or, how are rocks created? 🤔.  In Mystery Science:  The Birth of Rocks! students will explore questions just like these - and many more!  Join Mrs. Chenelle Zoerb for an engaging mix of video and hands-on activities that investigate volcanic eruptions, the rock cycle, and how weathering and erosion affect the Earth's landscapes.  

​

Activities include mapping the ring of fire, replicating the rock cycle, making (and erupting) salt-dough volcanoes, visiting the Anchorage Museum of Science and Nature … and more!  We will also learn about the scientific method and complete science fair projects!  

​

Note on Science Fair Participation:  Experiments and boards will be completed primarily at home, but on-campus open work sessions will be available.  Projects will be displayed around the school! Learn more in the SYLLABUS .
