Game of Stones: Rocks, Fossils, Earthquakes and Volcanoes

Saturday 25 February, 11:00 am - 4:00 pm

Suitability: All Ages

Free. Drop In.

Join geologists from around Northern Ireland to discover how party poppers can help us understand earthquakes and how the fizziness of lava causes volcanic eruptions. Discover what rocks lie beneath your home and how old they are. See a real seismometer in action as it detects earthquakes and handle some of the fabulous fossils and marvellous minerals from the Ulster Museum’s collections. You can even make your own fossil plaster cast to take away.
