Description: Did you know that rocks also have a life cycle? In this programme, students will discover how rocks change over time, going through different phases - igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. Through practical activities and observation of real samples, they will learn how the Terras de Cavaleiros Geopark is a real natural laboratory where these transformations can be observed. A fun and engaging way to understand geological processes and the value of the region's geological heritage.
