Rock On

Azurite from Arizona, ROM Teck Suite of Galleries. Gift of Andre Dorfman.

Get ready to rock n' roll! Journey inside a volcano, spelunk in a cave, or scour your house and discover how rocks and minerals are all around us. Mineralogist Veronica Di Cecco joins us to talk about everything from the evolution of our planet to the stages of the rock cycle. Discover why the earth quakes and land slides and how these natural disasters occur. Find out about the plate tectonics shifting underneath our very feet and what the world looked like millions of years ago. Grow a sugary gemstone or create your own mini volcano and see how it erupts!
