This is the “New Standards Edition” of the Vulcan & App State Geology “Rockin’ NC" program, where participants will learn hands-on activities to bring North Carolina rocks and minerals into their classrooms. Returning participants can refresh their knowledge of the materials and explore how activities align with the new standards. Additionally, 20 Rockin’ NC classroom totes will be available on a first-come, first-served basis for those who do not already have one.
