FIELD TRIP: Memphis Stone and Gravel To Learn about Geology and the Mining Process

Girls getting ready to excavate! I coordinated this trip..first one for our homeschool group. Each mom or dad received a really cool speckled stone coffee mug. This was a 3 hour field trip packed with info for kids and adults too!

Dont look down....or fall over the edge, LOL....real mining facilities are awesome....

Kids climbing up enormous rock piles.....like a dream come true for them....I was scared out of my mind...but they loved it!

Polymers & Other Fun Stuff

This is hydrophobic sand...from our greek studies, the kids figured out quickly, it meant "afraid of water"....hence it is sand that stays dry, even when placed in water. It is sprayed with a hydrophobic coating and sold as "magic sand"...very cool!
