What is geoscience?

Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...

Trying to read the explanations is so hard my eyes hurt and I had to give up 😭 which sucks cuz that's SO INTERESTING!! I was planning on annoying my kid with a new random fact about plants tomorrow, but I only made it through 1.5.

That's so incredibly cool though!

Save the image and use it as a reference when you spend a time together. Drawing leaves and talking about what causes the colour changes would be a cute activity.
And if you get them to label the leaves they draw with the names of the chemicals causing the colours, you both get a fun visual aid to stick up on a wall or something.
