In this Earth Science field investigation, middle schoolers will make observations of the rock above and below the Minneopa State Park waterfalls. Students will then make observations of gravestones at Minneopa Cemetery. Through these observations middle schoolers will form investigable questions about the effect of weathering on different rock types
