MSSA 2023 - Rock On

This video is an introduction to a module at the 2023 Mead Summer STEM Academy. For more information on the MSSA, visit mead354.org/mssa.
Join the newest section of Summer STEM Academy. We'll spend the week exploring the geology of the amazing community we live in - yes - Spokane and the great Pacific Northwest! You'll investigate how water and rock interact to create the land features that surround us. In addition, you'll get your hands on fossils, gems, rocks and other unique rock and mineral formations; examining their structure, testing their physical properties and appreciating their awesomeness. You'll also explore how you can help take care of this ROCK we live ON, brainstorming environmental sustainability ideas that preserve the land we live on and can be put to use in our region. Finally, you'll get to finish the week with Peak 7 Adventure on a Rock Climbing expedition at Minnehaha! Don't miss out - this is your chance to truly Rock On!
