Ten unique hands-on activities for students to learn fundermanetal earth science concepts and skills.

• Introduces students to over ten types of earth scientists including geologists, seismologists, volcanologists, and oceanographers

• Ten engaging, hands-on experiments aligned with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)
• Emphasizes real-world applications and careers in earth science
• Covers earth's systems, matter and interactions, and engineering design principles
• Encourages critical thinking, modeling, and evidence-based scientific explanation

The 'I’m an Earth Scientist' kit immerses students in the exciting world of geoscience through ten hands-on experiments that explore the Earth’s composition, structure, and processes. Students will role-play as petrologists, volcanologists, seismologists, and more while investigating real scientific questions—from rock formation to natural disasters. Each activity is rooted in NGSS-aligned content, reinforcing key concepts such as Earth’s systems, forces and motion, and matter interactions. This kit is perfect for students who love asking 'why' and want to understand how the Earth has changed over time—and how it might change in the future.
