We can’t wait to dig into science with you at this hands-on STEM program happening Wednesday, June 3rd at 1 pm!

Participants will explore the layers of the Earth and discover how soil, sediment, and materials settle and build up over time. Through interactive investigation, we’ll examine how natural processes can preserve objects within layers and what those layers can teach us about the world beneath our feet.

It’s a fun, curiosity-driven look at geology that encourages observation, questioning, and discovery.

The flyer features a layered soil model craft in a clear cup made with colorful clay and beads, along with book and excavation-themed illustrations. Text reads: “Explore the structure of the earth through hands-on investigation of soil composition and sediment layers, and examine how layers are formed.” Hartshorne Public Library logo and program support information appear at the bottom.

Our teen crew had an absolute blast creating their own geodes at our recent program! 💎🧪

They mixed ingredients, experimented with colors, got wonderfully messy, and learned all about how geodes form while creating sparkling masterpieces of their own. Since this group already loves rocks and geology, this project was the perfect fit—and there were plenty of laughs and creative moments along the way.

We loved seeing everyone’s unique designs and watching science and creativity come together in such a fun hands-on experience! ✨
