Mini Field Trip - Geology Rocks (9:30-11:30) FREE
Jester Park, Polk County
Tuesday, September 29, 2020
We recognize
school learning looks different this year for all of us. To provide outdoor
learning opportunities for school age children that may be learning at home,
we’re offering mini two-hour field trips in a small group setting with a
naturalist. Each small group will consist of five learning pods. A pod may
consist of a parent with their children and their children’s friends. Adults
must attend with children.
If you are not
able to attend, please contact patrice.petersen-keys@polkcountyiowa.gov so the wait list can be contacted. List the number
of participants in the comment section.
Our top priority has been and will
continue to be the health and well-being of the public and the staff. In
response to the ongoing development of COVID-19, Polk County Conservation
programs will adhere to social distancing, smaller group size, and increased
sanitation. All programs will take place outdoors and will be cancelled due to
inclement weather.
Recommended for grades 3rd and older
Geology Rocks - Learn the basic
of geology. We’ll discuss the three families of rocks, igneous, sedimentary,
and metamorphic and how each are formed. Afterward we’ll “rock”out with some
explosive and fun geological activities.
