EDUCATION DAY — NEW ENGLAND MINERAL EDUCATION

Education Day is a no-fee opportunity to learn hands-on about geology and minerals. Based primarily on the geology of New England, anyone who comes will learn what may be just inches to a few feet below where they are standing. This area produces some of the most exciting rocks and minerals to be found. We encourage you to bring your students for the day. There are over 20 different education stations from finding and identifying rocks and minerals, to faceting rocks into gemstones, to microscopes where you can see small minerals, and an area where you can get the chance to sluice for your own minerals. Your students will be involved in hands-on, interesting, and fun activities that educate in a memorable way.
