This four lesson course is packed with information about the geology of the British Isles, using locations from the Harry Potter books as a framework. How did they form? When did they form? Along the way, we'll learn basic geologic principles and terminology. See the course syllabus for more detailed information about what is covered in each lesson. This is a self-paced course, which means there is NO live component. Each lesson includes a video recording, plus extension activities to expand your learning beyond the lecture. All extension activities are optional and at the discretion of the parent. Need a discount? Sure thing! All of my self-paced courses are "pay what you can afford." To get the discount you need, sign up for the course first, then message me with the discount you would like, and I will apply a partial refund. This must be done before the end of the first week of class.
