At this event, students in grades 1-8 go to a series of stations where they collect rock specimens and learn about a variety of topics, including:
Pennsylvania minerals and rocks,
Fossils
Optical properties of Minerals
Cleavage of crystals
Fluorescence (glow in the dark)
Sales table for children with affordable prices
And more!
There will be demonstrations, games and interesting facts about rocks and minerals. Everyone goes at their own pace to each station in the order they choose.
Participation is limited to a first come first served basis so please sign up early! Advanced payment of $5.00 for each child will guarantee your reserved spot for the special event. Registration is limited so that we may be sure of having enough specimens for all of the students.
