Pack 93 was fortunate to host Dino Zack, Geologist on Mondays Pack meeting to share his knowledge with our scouts about different rocks and minerals, where they came from, how to test to see what kind of rock it might be and tons of other super cool stuff about rock and minerals.
Dino had all kinds of samples of rocks to help the boys think differently about what might be in their backyard. He then had several rock testing kits for the boys to try out and take home.
It was a great night of STEM and hands on learning for Pack 93.
FYI…Dino shared with us that if you want more STEM hands on with geology there is a Gem and Mineral show ( he will be there!) on March 24th and March 25th 2018 at the Hamburg fairgrounds… they are having a gold theme with a bunch of hands on activities
