Rock & Roll: Intro to Rock Tumbling
Rocas rodantes: Introducción al pulido de piedras
Saturday, November 21
2:30pm - 4:00pm
Anythink Nature Library
Nature Library Art & Science LabWind and water change even the stones around us, and we can use erosion processes to reveal the hidden beauty of rocks. Appropriate for all ages. Children 6 and up welcome with a responsible adult.
Gather stones during a walk on our trail loop or choose from our selection, then decide which ones to put into our rock tumbler for polishing. Stop back by the library over the next few weeks to see how the stones are progressing. Participants will be invited back to choose one of the finished tumbled stones to take home.
El viento y el agua transforman incluso las piedras que nos rodean, y podemos usar los procesos de erosión para revelar la belleza oculta de las rocas.
Recolecta piedras durante una caminata por nuestro sendero circular o elige algunas de nuestra selección y decide cuáles poner en nuestro pulidor de rocas. Regresa a la biblioteca durante las próximas semanas para ver cómo avanzan tus piedras. Invitaremos a los participantes a regresar para elegir una de las rocas pulidas terminadas y llevarla a casa.
Apropiado para todas las edades. Los niños de 6 años en adelante son bienvenidos con un adulto responsable. El espacio es limitado; se requiere inscripción.
