Where do rocks come from? How are rocks classified? What are fossils and where are they found? 

 In answering these questions your learners can also find out about sand, soils, minerals and shells and get a perception of a planet that is constantly evolving.

This workshop also includes a tour of our store where we care for over 1 million objects.

Recommended ages 6-14 years. Please book a ticket for all children 6 years and over (£5 per ticket). If you are bringing younger siblings, please email discovery.centre@leeds.gov.uk so we can check that we have space. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
