What it actually looks like
Our note
You arrange the ride to Comox Lake yourselves, which the museum says can be parents, a car pool or a bus. That is the part that takes the planning, so sort it before you fix a date. Everything else happens outdoors, so watch the weather.
What the children do
An extension of Geology A that takes the class to a geologically significant site at Comox Lake, where the children examine rocks, minerals and formations and watch the processes of sedimentation, erosion and volcanic activity. The museum states plainly that the group provides its own transport to and from Comox Lake, by parent, car pool or bus. The price is published against a maximum of 30 people.
Walk a site at Comox Lake, pick up and examine different rocks and minerals, and look at layers and formations in the ground to work out how they formed.
