Blast off into an exciting exploration of space science and geology in this engaging online class designed for homeschool families, young rock collectors, and curious learners. In Rocks in Space, students will discover how meteorites form in the early solar system, how they travel through space, and how scientists identify them when they land on Earth. We will explore the differences between meteorites and Earth rocks, learn about famous meteorite discoveries, and examine how planetary geology helps scientists understand the surfaces of the Moon, Mars, and other worlds.

This class combines geology, astronomy, and planetary science to explain impact craters, space minerals, and what moon rocks collected during space missions have taught us about the history of our solar system. Students will also learn how scientists study planetary surfaces using telescopes, rovers, and satellites. Perfect for upper elementary and middle school homeschool students, or anyone who enjoys structured online learning similar to Outschool, this high-interest course builds scientific curiosity, observation skills, and a deeper appreciation for the connection between Earth science and space exploration.
