Students develop a geological perspective and understanding of the powerful forces of nature. They will explore concepts in the classroom with hands-on activities and also visit the Hudson River to make their own observations. Students get a physical overview of how the Hudson River Valley was formed over thousands of years. Activities are designed to allow children to construct their own understandings. Students gain an appreciation of how glaciers and rivers can change landscapes over time.
