Today is Field Trip Day!!!!
Today would have been the day of our field trip. I know I’m feeling pretty sad that we can’t be there together, but let’s try to make the best of it. Put on your adventure hats and let’s go to…..
Sterling Hill Mining Museum
1. You can learn more about the mines and take a virtual field trip tour using the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Onr-AHIQQ7s
2. You can go to the museum’s website to check out these cool things!
https://www.sterlinghillminingmuseum.org/
Once you are on the website, you can click on the tabs on the left so you can learn about:
· Inside the Mine - The Rainbow Tunnel and the 25 different levels of the mine.
· Zobel Hall Museum - which once was the miners' Change House and the multi-million dollar mineral display, donated by the Oreck family, contains hundreds of fine mineral specimens in the Oreck Mineral Gallery.
· The Warren Museum of Fluorescence - Fluorescent Mineral Display & why some minerals “glow”.
You can also click on the “Education” tab at the top of the website to learn about:
· The fluorescent minerals of Franklin & Sterling Hill, NJ
· Why the glowing rocks under New Jersey fascinate geochemists with this YouTube video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fl8u9Kt3xxo&feature=youtu.be
· The uses of zinc…hint: we use it every single day!
3. Go outside and search your backyard or around your neighborhood (follow social distancing rules!) to find different kinds of rocks. Send me a picture of what you found!
4. Have fun and enjoy the day!
