Register online.

Geologists observe rocks and landforms to investigate processes that have formed and changed Earth. In this class, students will seek fossil evidence in our limestone quarry to reconstruct MN’s tropical past. Additionally, they will think like geologists and paleontologists as they navigate through our geology-themed game trails.

Homeschool classes are taught by our experienced naturalists and use the extensive resources in Quarry Hill Park to create unique, locally based science experiences that support at home learning while building respect for the natural world. 

These classes are for homeschooled students only, are based on age, and are offered two times during the school year. Topics rotate from year to year.
