Karst, semi-precious gems, Ozarkite, state mineral, the Viburnum Trend, a rock collection, caves, volcanoes, Elephant Rocks, and lapiddary are just some of the topics that you might pursue in your geology project. Geology is the study of the earth. Much of our knowledge about the earth comes from the rocks, minerals and fossils that surround us. Explore the earth - in your backyard, a creek bed, a road cut, anywhere. Take field trips, collect specimens, develop your collection an exhibit a the fair. Learn the basics and pursue special interests!
