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!  This class also includes participation in the MCS Science Fair.  

​

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!
