Dive into Geology!

The Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center's Geology learning session allows children to explore the vast geology of our state and step back into the Ice Age and discover how Washington's incredible landscape was formed! In this hands-on lesson, students will learn about the floods that formed the Wenatchee Valley and surrounding areas and they will learn about different mineral deposits and how they form. Through observation, children will learn about the characteristics that are used to identify different kinds of rocks, minerals, and crystals. This lesson combines geology, earth science, local history, and inquiry-based learning to help students understand our rich history and how each rock and process has a place in building our landscape.
