Geology

Session 1 (Full)

Geology is a mixture of classroom learning and field trip opportunities. Each child will be encouraged to complete and present a rock collection at the fair in July. Families will take a leading role in helping their child collect, identify, clean, and present their collections at fair. During the 2024-2025 4H year, this project will focus on gold mining. There will be a family fee to help split the cost of the sluice box project. Note: Please bring a sack lunch if you plan to stay for other projects.

Session 1 will be led by Darcy Southard and Monica Macedo on the 1st Friday of the month.

Session 2 (Accepting New Members)

We will learn how rocks are divided into 3 groups according to how they were formed. We will have hands-on activities for you to discover geology facts. Other plans include going on field trips, listening to guest speakers, tumbling rocks, and exhibiting at the county fair. Come to our first meeting to help plan future meetings.

Session 2 will be led by Cristy Motgomery and Jaimie Goldman on the 2nd Friday of the month.

All children must be accompanied by an adult on field trips for both sessions.

(Limited to 12 members per session)
