The Rock and Volcano workshop was a valuable and engaging learning experience for the students. The content was both informative and age-appropriate, helping to reinforce key aspects of our science curriculum in a hands-on and interactive way. It was particularly effective that the session was divided into two distinct activities. This structure helped maintain student focus and energy levels, allowing them to absorb the information in manageable parts. The practical elements of the workshop encouraged active participation and supported different learning styles, particularly for students who benefit from tactile and visual learning experiences. Overall, the workshop was well-delivered, educational, and enjoyable. It provided a solid foundation for further classroom discussions and activities related to geology, rock types, and volcanic processes. A well-structured and worthwhile session.
