Geology in Your Backyard: Explore Evidence of Plate Tectonics and Pangea

Join us Wednesday afternoons in December for learning and fun with science-based activities!  This 30-45 minute activity will focus on the geology of the Midlands (SC), which tells a fascinating story of how the Atlantic Ocean formed as the supercontinent Pangea broke apart.  We'll take a hands-on look at the rocks and minerals around Camp Discovery, exploring plate tectonics and the evidence scientists use to understand the Earth's history.  This activity, led by University of South Carolina Associate Professor of Geology, Dr. Andrew Leier, is designed for 1st through 5th grade students and begins at 11:30 a.m.  Guardians should remain on-site and supervise their child during play and picnic times (12:15 p.m. - 1:30 p.m.).  Don't miss out on this enriching and exciting opportunity.
