Step onto the Ocean, Freshwater and Us Giant Floor Map and pick up a rock. That rock has a story, and you are about to read it. Working in small teams, young detectives start by noticing, then reach for their magnifiers and a detective key to uncover how their rock formed, where it came from, and what it reveals about the forces that have been shaping this planet for billions of years.

This is not a sit-and-listen session. It is an investigation. Because water and rock are not separate subjects. They are part of one continuous cycle that has been running longer than we can imagine.

The Ocean, Freshwater and Us Giant Floor Map is made available for this event through the generosity of the Centre for Ocean Literacy Collaboration (COLC).
